How to choose, how to choose! You found some really unique red, white, and blue desserts, Cynthia. They all sound yummy and would look good on anyone's 4th of July picnic table. I've never seen a Watermelon Pizza before; that is super-clever! While I love fruit, I tend to lean towards gooey-sweet, so my thoughts are lingering on the Strawberry Blueberry Cheesecake Icebox Cake. I'm just glad these desserts don't have to be limited to serving on July 4th. Hope you and yours have an enjoyable, safe, and yummy holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan! I hope you and your family also have a wonderful 4th of July! I find it very interesting that your eyes landed on the Cheesecake Icebox Cake. That was my mother's choice too. She prepared it for our family last year and it was delicious.
ReplyDeleteI should not have come over here right now when I am hungry! It all looks great but for me it's gotta be the white chocolate fudge! Yum, the 4th of July is going to be yummmy!
ReplyDeleteEeiny meeiny, minniey, moe......Oh I just think I'll have them all....I was never too good at choosing. They all really do look lovely and delicious.
ReplyDeleteLots of yummy looking deserts! I love the way strawberries and blueberries add to the festive look for the holiday. I'm making a cheesecake parfait with layers of cookie crumbs, cheesecake mix, strawberries and blueberries! Thanks for all the great ideas and for the link to my patriotic photos post.
