Star Spangled Desserts For The 4th of July & Beyond

{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

 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!

Half Baked Harvest 

Blueberry Pancake Ice Cream
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. 

Broma Bakery

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.

Country Living

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!

California Strawberries

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.

Food Network

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.

How Sweet Eats

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!

A Common Connoisseur

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.

Good Housekeeping

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! 

The Modern Proper

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,

Sprinkle Some Fun

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.

Zoe Bakes

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!

Sugar Spun Run

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.

Inspired By Charm

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. 

Minimalist Baker

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!

Granbaby Cakes

Beat The Heat With 12 Cool Ideas

I adore the sun, but the heat that it brings, not so much. Summers are way too short in the midwest, so I try to chill in the sun whenever I can. Much of the country is melting from heat right now. If you are, consider this your chance to chill. Think watermelon cocktails, fun floats, after sun soap and more cool ideas.

After The Sun Soap

The sun is so very good for us if you protect yourself with a mineral sunscreen. On the off chance (it happens to all of us) that you got too much sun, use this goats milk soap. " Its' special formula of clay, aloe and goat milk help moisturize skin while preventing peeling and dryness. The lavender scent leaves you feeling relaxed and refreshed."
