The Fourth of July is just a few weeks away, which means it’s time to start planning a patriotic party menu complete with a sweet finale starring red, white and blue desserts. I’m heading home to San Diego for the festivities, and I’m counting down the minutes until a little rest and relaxation poolside and so. much. furriness.
Fire up the grill, grab the homemade burger buns and then sit back and relax as you snack on a few of my July 4th favorites.
- Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
- Patriotic Pavlova with Watermelon Stars
- Lava Cakes with Red Raspberry Sauce
- Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas
- Frozen Chocolate-Covered Bananas
- Easy Strawberry Shortcake with Whipped Cream
What’s on your July 4th menu?

So great seeing you as well, Amy! XOXO
On your chocolate molten lava cakes w/ raspberry sauce post you said you were going to make a white chocolate version with blackberry sauce. So I went looking for a recipe and didn’t find it. Did I miss it or did you not post the recipe? Because you totally should if you didn’t! :)
Thanks for your comment, Catherine! I definitely never got around to it, but thank you for reminding me! Will add it to the future recipe lineup :)
Such beautiful and festive treats! Pinned :)
What a fun round up of red, white, and blue treats! I want them all :)
That pavlova with watermelon is just stunning.
Wait. JULY? How are we halfway through June already? We need to start getting some sun ASAP.
I can’t believe the 4th is just around the corner! Love all of these desserts! So fun and festive!
Well, someone is little miss patriotic this season, haha! These all look amazing, Kelly. I especially love the look of your pavlova – yummy!
These all look delicious! My favorite thing to make is red velvet cream cheese brownies with blue star sprinkles.
how fun! Happy summer to you
American Flag cheesecake with blueberry stars and strawberry stripes is my July 4 tradition. Those watermelon stars are a fabulous idea though. I might have to give them a try.
Love a good ol’ flag cake, Jane! We make one every year, too, and yours sounds incredible!
Fabulous collection of red, white and blue desserts, Kelly! As for our 4th of July, I’m experimenting in the “lab” this weekend, LOL!
Haha, I love it!

You are too kind, Averie! :)
