Cheese is tough. There are soy and rice cheeses. The one I've found that tastes the best is Lisanatti cheese but it can be hard to find, at least on the East Coast. I used to find it at Trader Joe's but haven't been to one in quite a while.

Ice cream. There are some very good soy ice creams. You can't go crazy because they are high in fat but a little (ROFL) after a high-SF meal is fine. Here's an old, old post about yummy ice creams. I can't guarantee they still make all those brands and flavors:

Cakes and cookies. You may be able to tolerate Duncan Hines mixes. Make them with only egg whites. I make a half-box at a time into cupcakes and eat them without icing. There are some icing recipes in the Recipe Index but I haven't tried any of them.

Here's a little round-up I did of some chocolatey stuff, including chocolate chip cookies:

Here's a variation on the Anti-Depressant Brownies that includes chocolate frosting (I haven't tried it but it sounds wonderful):

AD Brownies with Chocolate Frosting

There are lots of angel food cake recipes in the Recipe Index. The mocha and pineapple ones are my favorites:

There's a great pancake recipe on the Board:

Mark's Super Lowfat Pancakes - These are wonderful. Throw in some blueberries or pecans if you can tolerate but they're great plain, too. Eat with Smart Balance Light and syrup or a little sugar. Yum.

I didn't drink coffee before I was diagnosed so that I can't help you with.

HTH.
