Red White and Blue Parfaits #SundaySupper

July 3, 2016 By Betsy Cohen

Red White and Blue Parfaits are a great way to celebrate July 4th. These patriotic all-American ice cream treats will definitely keep you cool!

Red White and Blue Parfaits  #SundaySupper


I love the 4th of July.  We begin the day in a nice lazy way and end it watching the fireworks, with lots of food in between.  This week my Sunday Supper family is showcasing easy to make “All-American” recipes and Red White and Blue Parfaits will fit right in.

Samuel wanted to take a picture for this post. Personally, I love that he thinks outside the box!

Some may be inclined to call Red White and Blue Parfaits ‘sundaes’.  In my opinion, once ice cream is layered with fruits and/or sauces, the dessert is transformed into a parfait.  However, if you want to call yours ‘sundaes’, that works for me.

You can make Red White and Blue Parfaits ahead of time or set out the strawberry sauce, blueberries, and vanilla ice cream and let your guests fix their own dessert.

The strawberry sauce is also terrific served over Angel Food Cake, Key Lime Pound Cake and Orange Sponge Cake.  Then again, Samuel and I were just eating it by the spoonfuls!

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
