Favorite dessert for Memorial Day
As I mentioned before, we always have some kind of Memorial Day barbecue, because everyone is on holiday. The warm weather is the best time to go out for barbecue! This is the perfect start of summer.
We usually assign everyone to bring a dish, and I personally like to be responsible for desserts! There are many choices for Memorial Day desserts, and I have included all the different types in this article.
You can always make something patriotic, decorate it with red, white and blue, make some traditional desserts, such as pies or cakes, or because of the warm weather, this is also a good opportunity to make cold or frozen desserts! The series includes all these types of recipes.
Before we get into the recipe, here are some tips on preparing and serving Memorial Day desserts.
Dessert Tips for Memorial Day
How much dessert do I need? Plan to choose at least 2 desserts for every 10 guests. Once you start adding dessert options, you just need to make sure that there is enough food for people to enjoy two desserts instead of one for each dessert.
Keep dessert cold: Many desserts can be left for several hours or longer and still be edible. Cold desserts need to be preserved, well, refrigerated, otherwise you will end up in a mess. If possible, keep food in the refrigerator or cold room until you are ready to serve it. One way to keep desserts cool while serving is to fill a tray/bowl with ice cubes and place the dessert on top.
Holiday colors: Red, white, and blue are commonly used for Memorial Day, and can be found in many of these Memorial Day desserts. Using red, white, and blue plates, bowls and trays really helps to bring the dessert together.
