This no bake patriotic dessert tray looks amazing and is just about the easiest thing in the world to throw together. All you need is a quick trip to the grocery store and a few minutes to wash and prep the fruit. I love this versatile serving tray that works great for desserts and meat and cheese plates.

To build:

  • Fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and cherries
  • Yogurt covered pretzels

That’s it! See I told you this was super easy!

Soda Floats

This year my daughter decided that she didn’t want cake at her birthday party. Instead she requested soda floats! I secretly did a little happy dance because I knew that this would mean I didn’t have to bake anything and it would take just minutes to put together.

Here are a few variations perfect for any patriotic party:

  • Strawberry and Blueberry Ice Cream with Cream Soda
  • Vanilla Ice Cream with Strawberry Soda
  • Vanilla Ice Cream with Blue Soda (Jones Soda Bubblegum)
  • All American Root Beer with Vanilla Ice Cream

That is really all you need, but if you would like to go all out you could pick up these adorable paper straws. Top the floats with whipped cream and Patriotic Candyfetti and you are ready to roll!

This delicious and somewhat nutritious no bake patriotic dessert can be put together in just a few minutes.

First you need to gather your supplies:

  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Marshmallows (standard for skewers or mini for dessert cups…see below*)
  • Pre-made brownies from the bakery section of the grocery store
  • Skewers

Wash and prep your fruit then simply assemble the kabobs by alternating each of the ingredients in whatever pattern you choose.

*Personally, I prefer and even faster serving option for this dessert. It is also kid-friendly, since skewers make me nervous when little ones are involved. Simply substitute mini marshmallows in the ingredient list and toss all the ingredients into small plastic cups. Bam dessert done!

This All-American no bake patriotic dessert idea is fun and perfect for a crowd!

  • Pre-popped popcorn. I like to use Boom Chicka Pop Sweet & Salty Kettlecorn
  • Seasonal red, white and blue M&M’s
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Mini Pretzels

Simply toss all the ingredients into a large bowl and serve!

If you are a busy mom, or you just don’t love to bake you are going to love trifles. These no bake desserts are traditionally made by layering cake, cream, pudding and fruit. Yum-O!

Directions:

  • Find a serving dish that allows your guest to see the beautiful layers of the dessert. I love this amazingly versatile cake stand that turns into a beautiful serving bowl.
  • Create the dessert by alternating layers of
    • Pre-made Angel Food or White Sponge Cake from the grocery store
    • Cool whip
    • Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
    • Instant Vanilla Pudding

I recommend making this dessert a few hours ahead of time to allow the cake to start to soak up a bit of the juice from the berries and the cream. Absolutely yummy and fresh! Perfect for a warm holiday weekend.

Firecracker Ice Pops

As a busy mom I have learned to never underestimate the power of a Popsicle. Dessert prep never got easier than running to the store and grabbing a box of these perfectly patriotic ice pops. Store in your freezer until ready to serve, then sit back and relax while you enjoy the smiles on the faces of your guests!
