4th of July Desserts that won't Melt
The summer months can be tough on desserts. With the heat and humidity, it's often hard to keep things from melting, especially if you're outdoors at a picnic or BBQ. However, there are some 4th of July desserts that are summer-friendly and won't melt on you:
- Fruit salad. Fruits like watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, and berries are all good choices that will hold up in the heat.
- No-bake cheesecake - one of my favorite desserts! Check out a full list of delicious no-bake cheesecake recipes here on the blog. Most are ready in minutes!
- Trifles - this layered dessert can be made ahead of time and keeps well in the fridge. I have two recipes here for you. One is a traditional Patriotic Berry Trifle made in a large bowl, or you can try my Berry Trifle Recipe that's made in mason jars for individual servings.
