Easy Patriotic Desserts

These easy patriotic desserts are fun to serve at holiday parties, and this list has something for everyone! From cupcakes to cookies, these recipes are sure to please all your guests!

Though homemade apple pie with vanilla ice cream is always a great summer dessert, sometimes you want something a little more festive.

Bookmark this list of patriotic dessert recipes so you don't have to search for what to serve when a holiday is coming up.

A couple of desserts along with appetizers and you've got a party started! I like to serve appys like this white bean dip, tomato tarts, or one of these crab meat recipes.

Follow the appetizers with a couple of these dessert recipes. They're all perfect for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, or Labor Day, but they make great desserts for a plain old summer July BBQ!

If you're planning to serve cocktails, check out this delicious raspberry mojito recipe. We just made it recently and it's so refreshing! We also have a list of 25 copper mug cocktails -always a big hit!
