Although I usually like to break out of the traditional holiday color combinations, it’s hard to do that with the red, white and blue Memorial Day palette! To celebrate the theme, I’ve rounded up some delicious desserts recipes in each colorway. Although you can always top any dessert off with some appropriately-colored berries, some of these dessert ideas have some interesting flavors that you may not want to pass up. Although simple at first glance, the berries and coconut cream second-from-the-left is calling my name with its non-traditional flavors and vanilla-infused fruit. The blueberry and goat cheese popsicles also sound divine, and interesting enough to serve as a formal dessert! Take a peek below and let me know what might make it to your Memorial Day menu.
