                                Custards of all sorts (pots de creme, flan, American-style pudding, ice cream) and panna cotta.

                                I'm a sucker for anything that makes good use of seasonal produce, so naturally, pies and cobblers are high on my list; though, I'm not sure if they fit your definition of non-floury.
