What is an awesome 4th of July dessert?

Question

something red., white and blue? REcipe please

Answer 1

One of my favorites is to make a vanilla cheesecake (you can use a boxed mix or your favorite cheesecake recipe). Make it in a 9x13 pan. Then using blueberries, strawberries and spray whip cream, make the top of the cheesecake look like an american flag. Blueberries in the top left corner with whip cream stars....the stripes are made by alternating strawberries and spray whip cream.

Answer 2

Corny, I know but...
I have always like the classic Cool Whip dessert when you make the cake look like a flag with strawberries cut in half and blueberries.
You could also do a cheesecake with strawberries and blueberries so it would have that red, white, and blue to it.

Answer 3

Some type of Red Jello with Blueberrys and Whipped Cream

or Blue jello with Rasperries or Strawberries with Whipped Cream

It's light and not fatty and perfect for summer--plus you get REd, White and Blue!

Answer 4

I'd definitely say flag cake, but don't even bother baking a cake for underneath. Just buy a store bought pound cake and cut into slices of equal thickness. Arrange on a cookie sheet (with sides) and top with cool whip and then add sliced strawberries and blueberries in the pattern of the American flag- It's super easy and you can dress up your presentation by lighting a sparkler on top before you serve it!
