4th of July Desserts

Red, White & Blue!

Sharing a patriotic dessert that will surely be a hit for the 4th of July this summer! For me, the best desserts have fresh fruits on top or a creamy center, and if you can have both, even better!

Strawberries, blueberries, creme cheese, lemon curd, and of course, lots of cute stars.

If you are looking for a colorful dessert that will be enjoyed by many, I’ve got the perfect 4th of July dessert for you.

INGREDIENTS:

3 Pillsbury pie crusts (from 2 boxes)
2 packages (8 oz each) of cream cheese (450 g)
10 oz lemon curd (300 g)
11 oz blueberries (312 g)
16 oz strawberries (454 g)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Heat oven to 450 F (230 C). Roll two pie crusts, fit into the pan, and press into corners. Fold crust over edges. Bake 10-12 min until golden. Cool for 30 min.
Roll another pie crust, and cut stars out of it using this cookie cutter. Brush each start with water, and sprinkle a bit of sugar on top. Bake for 5-7 min until golden. Cool for 15 min.
LARGE BOWL: mix cream cheese and lemon curd with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture evenly on top of the pie crust. Refrigerate for 30 min.
Either mix the fruits together with strawberry glaze or arrange them on top of the pie as I did.
Place the pie crust stars on top of the fruit.
Serve and enjoy!
