Just in case you are like me and wait until the last minute to plan the menu for your 4th of July get-together, 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.
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 Cooking With Sugar (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.

When I get home from work today, the girls are going to be messing around with those patriotic sprinkle covered ice cream sandwiches! Yummy!
Happy 4th, Pam!
Just doing yogurt parfaits here. and fresh fruit. But all your treats look YUMMY! ENJOY. Happy FOURTH.
These all look so delicious. I’ll take just a lil ole taste of each. 😉
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!
OH wow…I’d like to be going to any of the parties where those were being served…
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.
Wow, that bundt cake is all kinds of crazy. If only I were hosting a gathering this year!
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
That fruit pizza is beautiful! Happy 4th of July Pam-have fun:@)
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!
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do!
Happy 4th to you and yours!
🙂
The ice cream sandwiches on my menu tomorrow! Thanks for the idea and Happy 4th!
they all look awesome.
Your desserts look fabulous, pinned and scheduled to share on social media. Thanks for the great post!
This is great. I need something to take to my sisters house next week for a 4th party.
Thanks
Wonderful collection of recipes ~ I’m a last minute gal so this is a party saver for me.
I LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ YOUR FRONT PORCH! ❤️
Ah, thank you Karen!
Pam, I am seriously going to have to make that Blueberry Crostata! Lovely blog.
And it’s so easy to make! I’m going to make one to take to a gathering this weekend with raspberries and rhubarb in it!
I recently got a trifle dish and am So excited to use it. I love the way the patriotic trifle looks and I will definitely be making it for the 4th this year! Can’t wait!
