Concerning July 4th dessert recipes.?

Question

I need a dessert recipie that isn't a flag cake and not adult (vodka,wine,ect.). Preferrably Red, White, and Blue.

Answer 1

Do red, white and blue rice krispee treats. Just add food coloring to the marshmellow mix for the red and the blue. (Do it separately, duh) and for the white ones just drizzle a little bit of white frosting on top of them. For an even more patriotic feel press them thin and use a star shaped cookie cutter.

Answer 2

Check out the recipes on the Jello.com website. It has some pretty easy and good recipes. For example: the Cool and Easy Pie recipe. It has the Graham cracker crust. Just mix the filling from whatever flavor jello that suits you. Example: Strawberry. Then decorate the top with maybe blueberries and then add a dollop of cool whip on top. There's the red, white and blue dessert! P.S. Throw a few strawberries on top also. Hope this helps. Happy Fourth of July!!

Answer 3

Red,White, and Blue Shortcake
In a 13x9 pan- bottom layer sliced pound cake, middle layer red (strawberry or cherry flavored) jello (make jello according to package and when it has cooled but not quite set add fresh sliced strawberries) and spoon it carefully over the pound cake. Allow to set for a few hours and then come back with a layer of cool whip and top with fresh blueberries.

Answer 4

1. jello. red jello on bottom, whipped cream in middle, blue on top.

2. same with pudding, you can just use food coloring and vanilla pudding.

3. make a cake , angel food or shortbread with some blue food coloring, add red strawberries and whipped cream.

4. or do blue berries, strawberries and whipped cream.

5. ice cream- either find the right colors, use food coloring or mix in blueberries or strawberries to vanilla.

Answer 5

NO COOKING (just assembling) this is not a cake .. but they call it a layered ice-cream cake ... prepare this in a springform pan. do a simple short bread crust then (1st layer) blue-colored ice cream, (2nd Layer) vanilla, (3rd layer) red-colored ice cream. simple easy ... (4th layer) you can garnish with bluberries, strawberries ... red/white/blue fruits! and a whipped cream on top!

Good luck.
