One of the most exciting things about Independence day is the 4th of July desserts and foods. My absolute favorite part of attending any 4th of July celebration is seeing what kind of food is going to be served.

Whether you’re wanting to make some desserts either for a celebration you’re throwing or just to celebrate at home, these 4th of July dessert ideas are SO good!

After you read this post, you’ll have all of the 4th of July dessert inspo you could possibly need to make the yummiest desserts for the holiday this year.

This post is all about the best 4th of July desserts.

1. Red, White, And Blue Cake Balls

Cake balls are always sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Plus, they’re nice because you can make quite a few of them at once! These would be so cute to serve as a dessert on the 4th. You’d probably want to keep these inside, though, so the chocolate on the outside doesn’t melt!

2. Chocolate Covered Strawberries

These are the perfect simple dessert idea for the 4th of July! All you’d need to do is dip the strawberries in some chocolate, and then dip them in some 4th of July themed sprinkles.

3. Patriotic Pretzels

Chocolate covered pretzels are the perfect sweet/ savory combination. I could eat them all day long. This is a dessert everyone would be obsessed with. You could make these using white chocolate and food coloring, or you could get red, white, and blue melting wafers.

4. American Flag Fruit Pizza

This is the perfect easy dessert to make! I would be so mind-blown if I showed up at a 4th of July celebration and they’d made a fruit pizza like this. The crust is sugar cookie dough, and the topping is whipped cream, cream cheese, and berries.

5. 4th Of July Macarons

If you’re a skilled baker, you could probably make macarons like these yourself. You could also buy some if you don’t feel like attempting these at home!

6. Red, White, And Blue Crinkle Cookies

These cookies look SO good. They’re making my mouth water as I’m looking at them.

7. Dessert Kabobs

Sale

I am so obsessed with this dessert idea! If I were making 4th of July desserts, I’d probably do something like this. I feel like these would be so yummy. You could do other combinations of desserts as well! Cheesecake would be good in a dessert kabob.

8. Rice Krispie Treats

Rice krispie treat desserts would be so easy to make for the 4th of July! For the star ones I think you’d have to make the rice krispie treats yourself, but they’re super easy to make!

9. Fruit Platter

Sale

This is the perfect simple 4th of July dessert idea! I said earlier that you can’t go wrong with chocolate covered pretzels, and you can’t go wrong with yogurt covered pretzels either!

10. Patriotic Muddy Buddies

Muddy buddies are so yummy. This would be such a good and easy dessert idea to make for the 4th. If you’re having guests over, you could even send them home with some!

11. 4th Of July Cake

An angel food cake like this would be so light and delicious for the fourth of July.

12. Cookies

You could make pretty much any cookie recipe super patriotic just by adding some red, white, and blue m&ms. These cookies look delicious!

13. American Flag Cupcake Cake

You could serve cupcakes and decorate them to look like the American flag! This idea is so cute. It’d be super easy for people to grab as well.

14. Fruit Skewers

This is another really cute kabob/ skewer idea! If you want to do something more healthy, this would be perfect. You could use pretty much any blue & red fruit for a fruit skewer like this, but if you want the red star, you’ll probably have to use watermelon.

15. Patriotic Popcorn

This is a super simple dessert idea. It’s kettle corn with patriotic m&ms and white chocolate drizzled over! Kettle corn and m&ms is one of my all time favorite snack combos.

16. Snack Board

If you want to make something aesthetically pleasing but don’t want to go to TOO much effort, you could do a snack board like this! It’s pretty much just 4th of July themed things you could grab at the store and just arrange on a serving tray!

17. Ice Cream Sandwiches

This is another dessert that would be super easy to do. You’d just need to roll some ice cream sandwiches in some red, white, and blue sprinkles, and BOOM! They’re 4th of July themed.

18. Brownies

Brownies are my all-time favorite dessert, and they’d be so good for the 4th of July. You could cut them into stars to make them match the theme, and you could also drizzle some chocolate and add some sprinkles like they did in the pictures!
