If you are looking for a perfect ending to your holiday meal, you have come to the right place! I have a feeling that we all will celebrate with a bit more gusto and guests this year. You know how I love a good color theme. This post is filled with all of the red, white, and blue deliciousness you can handle. Scroll down and be prepared to drool.
No Bake Eton Mess Berry Cheesecake
I have a problem with the name of this cheesecake. Instead of the word "mess" I would substitute the word "masterpiece." This is one beautiful dessert that is certainly sparkler worthy!
Go ahead. Eat dessert for breakfast! Don't worry, you don't have to make pancakes first. That part of the recipe is represented by maple syrup.
No Bake Cheesecake
Isn't this elegant? It's proof that a fancy dessert can also be an easy one. If it is hot where you are this weekend. This recipe is for you.
Roasted Strawberry Sundae
Oh boy! Mix those sweet, juicy, roasted strawberries with bittersweet chocolate sauce and vanilla bean ice cream. Voila! You have created a dessert worth celebrating!
Stars & Stripes Cupcakes
These are so much fun! And if you can pipe and swirl that frosting, props to you! Not only is it pretty, but the frosting also features raspberry.
Triple Berry Trifle With Strawberry Sauce
Can you get any more festive looking? It's made with buttery poundcake, vanilla pudding, and yummy raspberry sauce. This dish is semi-homemade. You can buy the best poundcake you can find, and cut it up! This looks worth every layer.
Deep Dish Cherry Pie
It's cherry season, which hopefully means the prices are reasonable, because this recipe calls for four pounds of them. I love a pie that can be made in a springform pan. Easy peasy. This pie looks fab from the flaky golden crust to the cherries on top!
Very Berry Cream Tartlets
These are the sweetest looking! Using a delicate hand when sugaring the fruit and topping the pastry cream, is the hardest part of the recipe.
Mixed Berry Shortcake
My Mom was an excellent baker, but she took a shortcut for shortcakes. Yes, I grew up with those yellow sponge "things." We didn't know any better. Now we do, and just look at those homemade buttermilk biscuits!
4th Of July Sparkler Cake
This cake isn't as difficult as it may look. You begin with a vanilla cake mix. Then those awesome decorations on the side of the cake are just pretzels. Get the kids involved,
4th of July Baked Alaska
One of my all time favorite desserts - Baked Alaska. It's just so special and holiday worthy. You'll have to plan ahead to have this ready for the 4th, but it will be so worth the effort.
Star Spangled Cookies
These marbled cookies sparkle with sprinkled stars and luster dust glitter. They are the prettiest. And though the marbling does look difficult, the author states that it is hard to mess up. Give it a whirl!
Berry Cup Pies
Aren't these the cutest? A great way to make individual servings, and easy to transport. You will use a cupcake tin
for baking.
Strawberry Cheesecake Bars
Vegan & Gluten Free
With an almond and oatmeal crust, a coconut milk cheesecake filling, and swirls of fresh strawberry puree, this is a perfect summer dessert.
Red & Blue Spiked Snow Cones
One of my favorite childhood treats. Except these are for grown ups. They are made with fresh blueberries and raspberries, and of course, Vodka!
