Can you believe it’s the middle of June? In just a few short weeks, your friends and neighbors will be firing up their grills for an Independence Day barbecue and celebration. Red, white and blue will be displayed in abundance as we celebrate the birth of our nation. During summertime barbecues and celebrations, one thing that everyone looks forward to is homemade desserts.
The best thing about a homemade sweet treat is that, just like a personalized gift or handmade card, it comes from the heart. You put time, effort and thought into making something sweet for friends, loved ones and neighbors to enjoy.
While you start preparing and planning for your 4th of July celebration, we thought that we’d share some delicious dessert ideas for your guests:
Grilled Summer Fruit Kabobs. This is a healthier dessert. Put these grilled fruit kabobs on a plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you’ll have a barbecue favorite. It’s also easy to make!
All-American Banana Split. Nothing says “patriotic” like an American classic. In the dessert world, that would be the banana split. The sweet mix of ice cream, bananas and sundae toppings will take any guest back to their childhood.
Angel Food Cake with Berry Sauce. This combination of sweet cake and fresh berries will be a patriotic and festive treat for all of the guests at your Independence Day celebration. It’s also lighter on the stomach, leaving plenty of room for seconds before fireworks!
Apple Pie Bars. Just like the banana split, nothing says “American classic” like warm apple pie, which is why this dessert would be perfect for your Independence Day barbecue.
America’s Birthday Cake. Celebrate another year of our country’s existence with this red, white and blue cake. It’s the ultimate dessert for showing your American pride, and it’s delicious to boot. No other dessert on the table will be more festive!
Besides creating the perfect backyard barbecue, you’re going to want to create a great atmosphere for your Independence Day party! Try putting up a personalized house flag that shows your American pride or providing personalized can koozies for your guests’ drinks! This will add even more holiday fun to the party.
Happy shopping, and enjoy!
