Just in case you are like me and wait until the last minute to plan your 4th of July desserts menu (and desserts really are the star of your Fourth Of July picnic), I thought I’d show you a few patriotic desserts I’m dying to make this year.
They all look super yummy and highly patriotic. Of course, this only applies if you are in the U.S.A. If you are Canadian and celebrating a belated Canada Day, then just skip the blue parts of the foods.
Easy 4th of July Desserts
A Flag Fruit Pizza from Sabby In Suburbia (so photogenic)
A Red, White and Blue Trifle from Skinny Taste (3-4 Weight Watchers points for those that know what points are)
These Spangled Sandwich Pops originally from Disney Family Fun would be ridiculously easy to make. Buy ice cream sandwiches, roll them in sprinkles and insert popsicle stick. BOOM, you’re done!
This No Bake Summer Berry Ice Cream Cake from Cake’s Cottage is as gorgeous as it is easy to make.
Strawberry Shortcake In A Jar from Babble (a cake that is portable, need I say more)
Firecracker Bundt Cake from Betty Crocker (can’t you picture lit sparklers stuck on the top of this)
Who doesn’t like a 4th Of July Pinwheel, especially these edible ones from Home Cooking Memories!
And Watermelon Rice Krispie Treats from Glorious Treats (not red, white and blue, but still pretty darn picnic worthy)
And a bonus for you is my Bluebbery Crostata. These pies are SO EASY to make and so impressive at the same time!
Who wants to bet that I just buy an apple pie from the grocery store, slap it into my fancy star spangled pie pan and try to pass it off as homemade?
That’s what Betsy Ross would have done.
With all those bombs bursting in air, she wouldn’t have had time to make a pie from scratch either.

What a great selection of yummy red white & blue (ok, green in case of the rice crispie treats ~ lol!) Can’t believe that the 4th is already here….guess We’d better head to the grocery store tonight to get my ingredients for tomorrow’s potluck 🙂 Enjoy your 4th of July Pam!

Whew! When I saw the thumbnail picture on my blogroll I thought you created that masterpiece in this heat! Every one of those desserts would impress a gathering of friends or family. Yum!
This year we’re having no company, so it’s Teeny Weeny donuts and foot long Italian sausage at the downtown vender. How easy is that?! And oh so healthy.

Cute!!!! I love the flag pizza! It was so perfectly done! Mine would probably look a little more sloppy if I tried it!
Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces
OH wow…I’d like to be going to any of the parties where those were being served…
Tricia
Mmmm, I’d go for the trifle or the strawberry shortcake in a jar. When there’s some fruit involved, I tell myself what I’m eating isn’t so bad.
Sweet Posy Dreams
Wow, that bundt cake is all kinds of crazy. If only I were hosting a gathering this year!
NanaDiana
LOL- Love the idea of the pie passed off as your own. You are braver than I am! I just made a sheet cake and will decorate it with the strawberries and blueberries so it looks like a flag tomorrow- Have a great day-xo Diana

The watermelon pops are too cute. I am cutting a cantaloupe and that is it. Do not be envious.

Wow–these are all picture picture. Bet they taste great too:) Have a great fourth!
