Sharing this recipe on these fabulous blogs!
Are you looking for a dessert to completely wow your guests this Fourth of July? Look no further!! I am sharing one of my family favorites, and once you taste it, it won’t be hard to see why! This berry trifle is full of flavor and savors your sweet tooth!
The recipe is as follows:
Graham cracker crust
1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham cracker
1/3 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crush graham crackers to fine consistency, pour into a mixing bowl and combine all ingredients until evenly combined. With a fork push the graham cracker mix onto the bottom of a mason jar. Continue for the desired amount of jars and refrigerate for at least 40 minutes. I used Duncan Hines strawberry pie filling that I bought on clearance at Target and spooned it on top of the crust. Next, I added a dollop of cooled whipped cream. Add a few blueberries to garnish on top and there you have it! Absolutely delicious and perfectly patriotic!These are great because you can make them before hand and put them in the fridge to cool further until serving. They are the perfect single serving and they’re just as good the next day too!

Fab Pins of the Week: 4th of July Edition
Hey there! It’s Friday and you know what that means, it’s time to share my favorite pins from this week!
I’m still in full swing of 4th of July prep, so I thought I would put together a roundup of some of my favorite patriotic food & drinks!
From left to right top
4. source  5. source1. If you’re looking for a delicious, light dessert that’s sure to please, than this triple berry trifle is your pick! It’s light cool whip, angel cake and berries make the perfect combination for your taste buds! Not to mention the perfect addition to your 4th of July setup! Head over to SkinnyTaste for the full recipe!
2. How cute is this firecracker red white and blue drink?! The concept is to add the drink with the most sugar content to the bottom and repeat for remaining two layers. Head over and see exactly what drinks she uses and the full tutorial!
3. Last year for the 4th of July, we used a star cookie cutter to shape our watermelon and added them along with blueberries on a wooden skewer. It was adorable and all the guests loved the display! The same concept is used here but hollowing out the center of the watermelon and adding shaped apple garnished on top with a blueberry. However you decide to do it, it’s sure to turn out a hit!
4. Â Get the perfect drink for guests by adding a personalized printable and firecracker straw to any beverage! Â These sparkling lemonade bottles are darling and key to cooling down your busy guests!
5. Wow, this cake is flawless! It’s too bad I can’t find the original source to gawk over this cake! It’s a beautifully precise white and red multi-layered cake with what I’m assuming to be blue fondant. Don’t fret, if your baking skills aren’t this perfect, using the same concept to create a layered cake and adding food coloring to store bought icing, will create the same reaction out of your company! Once they see cake, they will eat cake 😉
** Update: Please be sure to visit the source link for #5, I was contacted by a viewer directing me to the original link of this cake with detailed instructions, enjoy!!

And that’s exactly where my inspiration was this week: Fourth of July!
1. I’m not really sure I can explain my immense love for this entire Vintage Americana setup! It’s absolutely perfect!! I highly encourage you to stop by the wonderful Pizzazzerie and feast your eyes on this adorable 4th of July party! She provides all the deats for the printables used (even a freebie!).
2. We all know my love for burlap wreaths, so it’s no wonder why this one caught my eye! It’s absolutely adorable! You can easily use this same technique for dressing up your wreath for the fourth! I think I see a weekend project coming my way (wink!)
3. I love all the vintage details in this lovely set up from my blogger friend Allison at The Golden Sycamore! Head over and check out how she uses true vintage pieces, along with new, and incorporates them to make this vignette pop!!
4. Mmm, mmm, mmm… This patriotic dessert looks divine! It’s nice and light, but full of sweetness! I will definitely be making this one this year! Head on over to Curly Girl Kitchen and check out the full recipe there! Enjoy J
