Foodie Friday: All American Desserts

This truly will be a different 4th of July Holiday. Most fireworks have been cancelled, and the "DIY" fireworks seem to be sold out coast to coast. I guess that we will just have to make our own sparkle. One way to do that is with homemade food. Today we feature All American desserts, because don't we all need a little sweetness with all that is going around us?  The recipes are very celebration worthy. Enjoy and 
be safe, please.  

No Bake Summer Berry Cheesecake
{ Vegan, Gluten Free, Wheat Free }
What a beauty and a very special red, white and blue dessert! Coconut Cream is a main ingredient. It's an easy recipe but needs to be made the day before and frozen overnight. Get going!

Miss All American Pie

Some of you may remember that classic song. It's a good name for this perfect pie for the 4th of July. You could also call it a Mixed Berry Pie. As the author states, "It’s essentially like if a fresh strawberry pie and a blueberry pie had a baby. What’s not to love?"

Broma Bakery

Angel Food Cake With Minted Strawberries

How lovely right? It is layered with Mascarpone Cream. This cake promises to be light and airy, just like any angel food cake should be. 

Williams Sonoma

Greek Yogurt Fruit Bites

I love a one or two bite dessert. It really is all we need. In this cake, flaky fillo shells are filled with a sweetened greek yogurt whipped cream and topped with fresh fruit. Cute!

Salt and Baker

Skillet Blueberry Bourbon Pandowdy
Now this is a twist on an American classic. It's pretty, festive and 
easy to make.
Half Baked Harvest

Bursting Blueberry Lemon 
Layer Cake
I am a chocolate cake girl, but lemon cake comes in second place. And aren't blueberries and lemons a delicious duo?  This cake promises lots of oohs 
and aahs.
Half Baked Harvest

White Chocolate Cheesecake
White chocolate is everything in a cheesecake. I have made it often. The crust is made from sugar cookies, and the finished cake is topped with a beautiful mixture of fresh berries.
Bakers Royale

No Churn Blueberry Cheesecake
 Ice Cream
With a delightful cheesecake flavor, graham cracker texture, and an easy no-churn method, this is the perfect ending to a cookout. By the way, I make no churn ice cream weekly. 
It is easy!
Grandbaby-Cakes

4th Of July Cake Vodka Milkshake
You know that I had to get some booze involved. This stylish shake is for all of my vodka loving friends. There is actually no cake involved. it is made with flavored "cake vodka."
Tipsy Bartender

Summer Berry Fool

With only six ingredients, this dessert is special and so easy to whip up!

Strawberry Jello Pie
Gluten & Dairy Free
As gorgeous as it looks on the outside, this pie is pretty on the inside, too. This is a treat the kids will enjoy, as well.

Roasted Raspberry Peach Tart
What a Summer showstopper! I have found roasting fruit or veggies really intensifies the flavor. The end result is worth the effort.

Strawberry Basil Shortcakes
This not too sweet version of an all American classic is unique with the addition of basil. Sounds fabulous to me.
