With 4th July celebrations just moments away, many of us have been wondering: just what are the best red, white, and blue desserts for our guests? The day is all about celebrating, and it’s time to make sure that everything fits with the theme – even the sweet treats.
Blueberry Meringues
All you need to do is swirl some blueberry jus through your traditional meringue mixture before topping the meringues with cream, more blueberries, and any red berries you like.
Cutaway Pie
Merely make a traditional berry pie with a difference. Use a cookie cutter to cut out stars from the top pastry to show your guests the colors waiting inside.
Ice Cream Bombe
Before you head out to watch the fireworks, you can wow your guests with some indoor sparklers with your red, white, and blue ice cream bombe.
Watermelon Cake
All you need to do is slather a shaped watermelon with some homemade whipped cream to create your cake. Then top with colorful berries to finish the look.
Berry Pizza
Sweet pastry? Check. Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries? Check. Whipped cream? Check. A drizzle of caramel sauce? There’s nothing more to say with this dessert.
Layer Cake
Simply add a few drops of red or blue food coloring to the layers, and use a heap of frosting in between to give that patriotic feel to this cake.
Chocolate Bark
Start by melting white chocolate in a bowl. Then, pour it over a baking tray and mix with red and blue sprinkles and candy before leaving it to set in the refrigerator.
Cooking for your guests this holiday season doesn’t have to be tough. In fact, these best red, white, and blue desserts help to add to the day while you still get to spend plenty of time with your friends and family.
