For the Fourth of July, entrees can be pretty obvious. Most people grill, so you’ve got hot dogs, hamburger, or barbecued pulled pork (if someone’s feeling adventurous). But the most fun part of any Fourth of July menu is a good patriotic dessert. Food bloggers are very creative in incorporating the American flag and/or red, white, and blue to create the perfect Instagram-ready easy dessert recipes for the Fourth.
This year, we’ve been seeing super-cute desserts for patriotic dessert bars, poke cakes, and popsicles. Can’t decide between the three? Just make ’em all. After all, you have that freedom. 🙂
RecipeChatter came up with our own cute, patriotic dessert this year. Warning: brag alert. This American Flag Cake is literally the most perfect potluck dessert you could make this summer! We know that layer cakes can be a bit intimidating, but this one is simple, yet fun. So easy, too.
At TheBestDessertRecipes.com, we have been busy adding Fourth of July dessert recipes to the site so that your desserts can have a firework effect, making everyone “ooh” and “aah.” Enjoy!

I saw the “Captain America” cookies, and was super excited to check out that recipe! But I can’t seem to find it. Not only are those cookies great for the upcoming holiday season, but they’re great for any comic/Marvel movie fan. I am really curious to see how to make those rings of red without making the whole cookie red. I will definitely look into these so I can impress my mother for our family holiday get-together. 🙂
Hi Kelsey! They’re included in the last section of our list: http://www.thebestdessertrecipes.com/Recipes-for-Cookies/Captain-America-MM-Shield-Cookies
Thanks for reading!
I think these 4th of July dessert recipes are adorable! I love the flag-themed, multi-colored cake. Also, I’m a big Captain America fan and so is my best friend so I know if she saw these at a party she’d light up and immediately ask for the recipe. With the latest Captain America movie coming out I think these cookies would be a great way to celebrate the new movie. The blueberries and strawberries combination is also a cute and easy combination that I wouldn’t have thought of.
Love the no-bake cake truffles! They look delicious and super festive. Always looking for easy no-bake recipes.
