4th of July Desserts

These 4th of July small batch desserts will have you feeling sweetly patriotic all summer.  Strawberry shortcake is a summer icon.  While sweet corn panna cotta with summer berries is for your more refined bbq’s (ha!).  And we can’t forget the all-American 6-inch apple pie (gluten free)!  Whichever you choose, this star-studded collection has you covered for all things red-white-and-blue sweet!
