Ingredients
Scale
- 1 American flag cake (baked or assembled with berries and whipped cream)
- 1 trifle with cake cubes, cream, and mixed berries
- 1 batch of s’mores brownies
- 1 apple-raspberry crisp
- Frozen popsicles (red, white, and blue layers)
- 1 no-bake cheesecake jar set (graham cracker, cream cheese filling, fresh berries)
- Whipped topping, caramel drizzle, or sprinkles (optional garnishes)
Instructions
- Prepare desserts in advance: Bake or assemble your chosen recipes the night before when possible (crisps, trifles, brownies).
- Chill or store properly: Keep refrigerated desserts like trifles and cheesecakes in the fridge until serving; freeze popsicles overnight.
- Decorate before serving: Add fresh fruit, whipped topping, or sprinkles just before bringing desserts outdoors.
- Serve family-style: Place desserts on a large table for guests to choose from, or pre-portion into jars and bars for easier handling.
- Keep fresh: Store chilled desserts on trays of ice if serving outside for long periods.
Notes
- Mix and match desserts to suit your guests’ tastes—include at least one fruity, one chocolatey, and one no-bake option.
- For dietary needs, offer a gluten-free crisp or vegan brownies.
- Desserts taste best when chilled and decorated just before serving.
- Double batches of crowd favorites like brownies or crisps for larger gatherings.
