Strawberry Basil Lemonade

Strawberry Shortcake Red, White & Blue Bites
“These sweet little bites made our taste buds so happy! They taste like inside out strawberry shortcakes. The cake and strawberry combine to make a great filling. Quick and easy to make, they'll be adorable at your parties this summer. We loved this super easy recipe. It's one the kids can help with too. We recommend preparing these at the last minute to make sure the whipped cream does not deflate.” - Test Kitchen
Patriotic Popping Sundaes with Cinnamon Naan
“I love popping rocks candies to make any celebration fun! I like to make this little sundae on celebration days with a base of my favorite naan all crisped and dusted with cinnamon sugar... you can style your sundae using your fave berries and pop rock flavors.” - Lori

All American Muffins
“Everybody likes a little sweetness with their holiday celebrations, so I came up with these as a fun idea. These spiffy little muffins proudly sport the red, white and blue...with a little punch of American Whiskey as well. Enjoy!” - Chris
American Flag Pretzels
“This is the cutest & most patriotic pretzel I have EVER seen! Way to go...I will be making these for work!” - Linda
Patriotic Gelatin Fruit Salad
“What a patriotic dessert! It's so impressive when complete, you can use it as part of the table decoration for a celebration. There are a few steps to this recipe, but the end result is delicious. We loved the cream cheese layer. Combined with the whipped topping, it was light and not overly sweet. The cherry pie filling mixed with the strawberry Jell-O makes that layer a bit creamy. Yum!” - Kitchen Crew
Patriotic Fruit Pizza with Pecan Shortbread Crust
“I love fruit pizzas, but am always a bit disappointed when it comes to the crust. Usually, the crust is a plain-Jane sugar cookie crust... but not mine. Mine sports a pecan shortbread crust that is TO DIE FOR! Use whatever fruits you want for this versatile dessert... strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, kiwi, pineapple, blackberries, apricots, peaches... whatever you like!” - Torrey
Blueberry Cheesecake Raspberry Swirl No-Churn Ice Cream
“No churn ice cream is the best. It has all the flavor and glory of making homemade ice cream, without the need for an ice cream maker. The 4th of July is the perfect opportunity to create this cool, creamy, and delicious treat. We've added chunks of cheesecake (with bits of its graham cracker crust), fresh blueberries, patriotic colored sprinkles, and a gorgeous raspberry swirl. It's divine.” - Kitchen Crew
Star Spangled Cookies
“Sam from Sugar Spun Run's Star Spangled Cookies jumped out to us. Shaped as a star and bursting with color, they looked like an adorable patriotic dessert. So, we went to the Test Kitchen to try Sam's recipe. The results? A Pinterest Pass with a few Test Kitchen tips that will make decorating easier.” - Kitchen Crew
