4th of July Desserts

4th of July desserts with red strawberries and deep blue blueberries are the perfect colors for any Fourth of July party. This beautiful red, white and blue trifle is simply layers of:

Pieces of angel food cake
CoolWhip
Cut Up Strawberries
Fresh Blueberries

Repeat again. Make it the day before and keep it in the fridge for a nice cool, light summer dessert. Everyone loves it.

Easy Cold Desserts for the Fourth

Fourth of July desserts look quite festive in these red, white and blue cupcake liners. These baking cups were purchased from Tuesday Morning last year. I found this cold dessert recipe in a magazine. Make the dessert ahead of time and freeze it. Serve the treats in a cupcake stand for a creative display.

Ingredients

1 8 oz pkg cream cheese

1 Cup of Cold Milk

1 Small Pkg of White Chocolate Pudding

2 Cups of thawed Cool Whip

2 Cups of cut up strawberries

Beat cream cheese until creamy. Gradually beat in milk. Add dry pudding mix and beat 2 more minutes.

Stir in Cool Whip and strawberries. Spoon the filling into the cupcake liners (place the liners in a muffin pan for a better shape - you can remove them after they become solid).

Remove them from the freezer just before serving as they soften really quickly in hot weather. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, blueberries or strawberries.

Fourth of July Parfaits

We use these acrylic wine glasses for more than just serving wine.

See how beautiful this Fourth of July dessert looks in them.

We simply layered

Cool Whip,

blueberries, and

strawberries.

Then repeat the layers.

Keep them cold in the fridge until it's time to serve dessert.

Top with a fresh whole strawberry

For something so simple, this cold dessert looks really great and tastes good too.

Of course I love any dessert that has Cool Whip.
