The Fourth of July is just around the corner & I'm playing around with different dessert ideas to celebrate this most patriotic of holidays. I know Memorial Day is the traditional 'unofficial/official' kick-off for summer, but to me, July 4th is when summer really kicks it into high gear. The sun is brighter, the days are longer, the nights are hotter & the parties are non-stop,
Here is one of the dessert ideas that I've come up with so far ~ Guiltless Patriotic Fat Free Brownie Supreme with fresh Raspberries & Blueberries. It's a sinfully good Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt Fat Free Chocolate Brownie, hiding beneath a layer of Fat Free Cool Whip & topped with colorful, fresh berries...& did I already mention it's really, really low fat, like FAT FREE? Almost too good to be true ~ but it is! I just love it when you can find ingredients that let you create a dessert that's so easy to make, as well as so elegant & festive, too!
Since July 4th falls mid-week this year, our town's grand fireworks display, shot off over the lake, will be held on Sunday, July 1st ~ but everyone will be coming to the lake & hanging around town starting on Friday, June 29th. That makes for a really long, extended weekend for celebrating the 4th. I decided I better come up with a few desserts to keep my family & friends happy, that way every day leading up to the Fourth of July will be special, too. Enjoy!
Guiltless Patriotic Fat Free Brownie Supreme with fresh Raspberries & Blueberries
- prepared brownies, either individual microwaved brownies using Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt Fat Free Brownie Mix OR a full batch of your favorite brownies, store bought or home baked, cut into squares
- fresh blueberries
- fresh raspberries
- tub of Fat Free Cool Whip
Place a brownie ((either still warm or cooled, but we like it best still warm)) in the dessert bowl or pretty glass of your choice.
Layer it with a generous mound of Fat Free Cool Whip, then top it all with fresh blueberries & raspberries.
The dessert can be made ahead of time & kept in the fridge until ready to serve, if you want it chilled ~ OR ~ assemble it at the last minute if space in the fridge is at a premium or you like to eat your brownie warm, like we do. :)
Let's hear it for the Good Ol' Red, White & Blue!
