Quick & easy no-bake desserts are everyone’s summer favorite, Like this Easy Patriotic Parfait. It’s perfect for your 4th of July celebrations. It takes just a couple ingredients, minimal prep time & yet still brings BIG smiles! I haven’t met anyone who turned one down.
Looking for a quick & easy treat you can whip up for 4th of July? This super simple patriotic parfait is perfect. Sometimes it’s the easiest things that bring the biggest smiles. I know that my kids get just as much joy from being able to help me make fun little goodies like these as they do actually eating them. That’s the best part – the kids can help with these because there isn’t anything complicated about them at all. I don’t have to watch every step or measure out anything exact. It’s as easy as layer it in & enjoy.
I already know that it’s going to be sweltering come the 4th. So why not make our recipes simple, quick & easy, right?! So this year while we are finally able to enjoy the holiday altogether as a family (for the first time in 20 years) we will whip up a few of these after we grill some INCREDIBLE dinner dishes. I can’t wait! I know the kids are excited because while they usually get to be my recipe testers after I capture a few pics, this time the hubs was the one who ate these pretty little patriotic treats. I’m really looking forward to having some with the kids.
