I have the easiest patriotic dessert for you today. Anyone can make this easy treat recipe. Use it for a Memorial Day dessert, 4th of July dessert, or no-bake summer dessert. This quick to assemble in mini mason jars or serve on a plate. Which makes it great for when you are busy but, still entertaining guests. And perfect for last-minute desserts. 

When you are done you might like to see all our no-bake icebox cakes, pies and dessert recipes. 

We used strawberries and blueberries but, you can also use the combination of strawberries and blackberries. Or all three of the berries to create a red, white and blue dessert.
