Tips and Tricks for Making the Best Memorial Day Desserts
- Use fresh, seasonal ingredients. Take advantage of in-season fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for vibrant flavors and natural red, white, and blue colors.
- Memorial Day can be warm, so opt for no-bake desserts, frozen treats, or chilled sweets like icebox cake recipes, fruit salads, and parfaits to beat the heat.
- Bake make-ahead desserts. Prepare treats like cookies, bars, and layered desserts a day or two in advance so you can enjoy the party without last-minute baking stress.
- Add a festive red, white and blue touch with colored sprinkles, fresh berries, or homemade whipped cream to make your desserts match the patriotic theme.
- If you’re heading to a picnic or cookout, opt for handheld treats like Memorial Day cookie recipes, bars, or cupcakes that are easy to transport and enjoy on the go.
