fourth of july recipes

The Fourth of July will be here before we know it, and I’ve been on the lookout for Independence day and Fourth of July recipes. I want to make things my kids and my friends’ little ones will like. My extended family can also be a bit hard to please, so I’m aiming for simple.

I want to make some simple red, white and blue treats to help my family and friends celebrate the 4th of July!

Here are some of my favorite fun and family-friendly Fourth of July recipes and treats that are as delicious as they are easy to prepare!

Fourth of July Recipes:

Birthday cake ice cream

Make this red, white and blue birthday cake ice cream to celebrate the birth of the USA! It’s no-churn, which means you don’t need an ice cream maker to make this creamy, delicious summertime dessert!

Red, White & Blue Parfaits: Parfaits are a cool and delicious treat for a holiday that falls in the middle of summer!

Pretzel rods decorated to resemble the American flag, with blue and white stars on the left and alternating red and white stripes. Perfect for Fourth of July recipes, these festive treats are arranged on parchment paper.

Pretzel Americana: Such an cute 4th of July twist on a classic party treat!

fireworks cookies

Fireworks Cookies. These 4th of July cookies are much easier than they look!

Red White and Blue 4th of July cookies

These red, white and blue 4th of July cookies are really Captain America cookies, but patriotic is patriotic, right?

stained glass jello

Star-Spangled Stained Glass Jello. Remember Knox Blox? How about Jello Jigglers. These are like the prettier, fancier version of either one of those classics!

4th of july fruit tray

This patriotic fruit tray made to look like the American flag looks impressive and delicious! 

Rectangular Rice Krispies treats on a tray, each on a red or blue striped paper straw, with one end dipped in blue chocolate and decorated with red, white, and blue sprinkles—perfect for fun Fourth of July recipes.

Mix up a batch of Rice Krispie treats, cut them into rectangles, dip in candy melts and pop colored straws into them for a new, much easier twist on cake pops!

A rectangular patriotic poke cake in a white baking dish topped with white frosting and red, white, and blue sprinkles sits on a marble surface—an ideal treat for Fourth of July recipes—with a blurred window in the background.

A poke cake turns into a patriotic dessert when you make a white cake with red and blue jello filling. Top with lots of red, white and blue sprinkles for an extra-festive 4th of July treat!

A plate of cannoli filled with cream, their ends dipped in red, white, and blue sprinkles and chocolate chips, arranged in a festive pile—perfect for Fourth of July desserts.

Another super-easy way to make a semi-homemade dessert appropriate for the Fourth of July: grab cannoli shells, fill them up with your favorite cannoli filling and dip the ends with red, white and blue sprinkles. Adding mini chocolate chips incorporates the look of traditional cannoli, too.

A festive dessert board inspired by Fourth of July recipes features star-shaped cookies with red, white, and blue sprinkles, marshmallows, strawberries, blueberries, and bowls of chocolate sauce on a wooden tray outdoors.

Crafting a patriotic dessert board is an easy task that ends up looking super impressive. Make sure you use mostly red berries and blueberries, and accent with piles of white marshmallows. Add sugar cookies decorated with red, white and blue sprinkles for more texture, and don’t forget the chocolate dip for a fun fondue.

A plate of strawberries dipped in white chocolate and blue candy coating creates a red, white, and blue layered effect—perfect for Fourth of July recipes. The plate sits on a red and white checkered cloth.

Chocolate dipped strawberries get an americana twist that looks like you spent hours on them! Use white and blue candy melts to layer on the sweet coating. Dip each one most of the way up in white candy melts, then let it set. Melt your blue candy melts and quickly dip part of the white chocolate-coated portion in blue. Keep in the refrigerator until they’re ready to serve.

Star-shaped Rice Krispies treats with three layers in blue, white, and red are stacked festively, perfect for patriotic celebrations. These eye-catching Fourth of July recipes make any party extra special.

Make a big batch of rice krispy treats, divide into thirds and add a few drops of food dye to two of the portions. Pat each layer into a pan and let them set. Then, use a cookie cutter to make your star spangled rice krispie bars that are a perfect patriotic dessert!

Several glass cups filled with layered desserts in blue, red, and white, topped with whipped cream and star-shaped sprinkles, make these a festive addition to your collection of Fourth of July recipes. Arranged on a marble surface for a patriotic touch.

Sprinkle granola into the bottom of a short glass. Tint vanilla pudding different colors and layer it into each glass for a festive treat. Top with patriotic sprinkles for an easy red, white and blue dessert.

Five red, white, and blue popsicles are arranged on a light surface, sunlight casting shadows—a festive treat perfect for Fourth of July recipes, with horizontal stripes of red, white, and blue.

Homemade popsicles are a breeze to make, and these red, white and blue favorites are no exception!

The trick to making popsicles like this: pour your bottom mixture in and freeze until solid. While it’s freezing, refrigerate the other two mixtures. Then add the two other colors, freezing in between. You’ll end up with perfectly layered colors to your ice pops!

Four clear cups filled with layered cheesecake, strawberries, and blueberries sit on a wooden table, each on a patriotic star-spangled napkin—perfect for festive outdoor gatherings and ideal as Fourth of July recipes.

Make classic cheesecake parfaits into a deliciously fresh 4th of July treat!

Sprinkle your crumbly graham cracker crust in the bottom of your parfait glass, then add in your no-bake cheesecake mixture. top with strawberries and blueberries, and add a glaze if you want a preserved look. Start making these parfaits and your friends and family will ask you for them every year!
