Description

Red, White, and Blue Desserts are festive treats perfect for patriotic holidays like the Fourth of July, featuring layers or accents of strawberries, blueberries, and creamy or cake-like bases to match the color theme.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound cake or angel food cake, cubed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for sweetening berries)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, gently toss the berries with powdered sugar and vanilla extract if using.
  2. In individual serving glasses or a trifle dish, layer cubes of cake, a layer of whipped cream, and a mix of berries.
  3. Repeat the layers until the containers are full, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream and extra berries on top for decoration.
  4. Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use store-bought cake and whipped topping for a quick and easy version.
  • Can be made in mason jars for a portable dessert option.
  • Try adding a drizzle of berry syrup or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for extra flavor and texture.
