It's time to kick off your 4th of July party! Whether you're planning a picnic before watching the fireworks, grilling your favorite 4th of July recipes in the backyard, or doing fun July 4th activities and July 4th crafts with the kids, don't forget a festive and patriotic treat to cap off the evening's celebrations!
If you're looking for last-minute 4th of July desserts, we've got everything from easy cookies and no-bake showstoppers to handheld treats and impressive cakes — and that's not all. Whip up trifles, fruity pies, ice cream cakes, s'mores, and so much more with these recipes. Here's a list of our favorites so you can throw the best Independence Day bash ever!
This is just about as patriotic as a pie can get! Inspired by the red, white, and blueberry pastry at Noble Pies in Warwick, New York, this pie is chock full of delicious berries and decorated with a festive flag pattern!
The easiest and most delicious dessert at the 4th of July cookout? This no bake cheesecake, of course! It's topped with fresh, juicy peaches so you know it's gonna be good.
Bomb Pops are a July 4th favorite. They can be traced to Kansas City, Missouri, where Merritt Foods debuted the patriotic treat. This Red, White & Blue Sorbet Loaf serves up a similarly sweet-and-tart experience in the form of cherry, lime, and coconut flavors.
If you've found yourself with a basket full of fresh strawberries, this is the pie you need to make. It has a literal mountain of whipped cream on top!
Honestly, sometimes the best desserts are straightforward. Like this one: moist vanilla cake, sweet frosting, patriotic sprinkles, and little American flags. And your dessert plans are done.
This chocolaty cake is about as simple and straightforward as it gets! It's made without butter, eggs, or milk, and somehow turns out moist and delicious. Your 4th of July crowd will love it!
Want a 4th of July dessert that'll fly off the plate? Use homemade (or store-bought if you want to go the no-cook route) waffles to make ice cream sandwiches. Slice and roll in colorful sprinkles.
Pineapple upside down cake just screams summer, which makes it a great dessert option for the 4th of July. Especially this version, which takes a few already prepared ingredients and roasted them over a campfire or grill until caramelized and extra-delicious.
This classic trifle is inspired by Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, with hot milk sponge cake, homemade custard, marmalade, and plenty of fruit, nuts, and whipped cream. It's as American as Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy!
This classic mid-century American dessert is similar to a lemon meringue pie. Instead of a traditional crust, the sweet meringue, baked until crispy, takes its place. This makes it exceedingly light and sweet—and also gluten-free!
This impressive red, white, and blue dessert is easy to make (there's no baking), beautiful, and—most importantly—delicious. And because you use yogurt in place of custard, it's also a little healthier!
