I am having a small dinner party and need an idea for a dessert. No dairy, no chocolate.

This was a success for me. Poach Bosc pear halves in zinfandel, water and orange juice. Top with orange flavored marscapone. Everyone loved it after a heavy meal.

Grilled fruit is excellent w/ a little honey over it and maybe a few different choices of sorbet.
Peaches poached in some port wine.
Bananas cooked in butter & brown sugar then flambayed
All are yummy & easy to do for a small party.

Fruit crisps are always a great idea. You should be able to find a good apple crisp recipe online, and jazz it up with other fruits like berries if you like.
One tip I read in a cooking magazine: when you make the crumble topping for the crisp, only put half of it on the fruit, bake the crisp for half the time, then pull it out and sprinkle the rest of the topping on the fruit and let it finish baking. The first layer of topping (the one directly on the fruit) will absorb some juices as the fruit bakes, making it soggy. Dividing it like that allows for the later-added topping to bake up, well, crisp. =)

fruit parfaits, layer angel food cake that has been cut into cubes, fresh fruit and non-dairy whipped topping (like cool whip) spruced up with some vanilla extract in wine glasses, since it's a small dinner party the presentation will be nice.

Caramel covered apple slices.
Caramel
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
Heat in pan until golden.
Cut up apples and dip into caramel. Lay on platter.

What about a pie of some sort or a berry tort. Maybe a grapefruit granita or some sort of fruit sorbet would be nice with some kind of cookie.

I'd go with finger deserts. It's cheap and easy to please. Why not tarts. There are so many different kinds...lemon, strawberry, rasberry, pecan and so on....your guest will love it and it will give them a variety of deserts to choose from

Cherry cheese cake is always a crowd pleaser.

how about a fruit platter - lots of different assorted fruits
or how about chocolate fondue - fruits and cheese dipped w/ chocolate.
