Although this a little late, though I'd share the dessert I made for the Fourth of July this year. For some reason I always end up creating something that is more patriotic in its appearance/colors rather than the ingredients themselves, maybe because it the reverse of how I normally bake. Rising temperatures made a cold, refreshing treat the most appealing so after looking up several different ice cream and parfait options I decided to combine the two with sugar cookies. After all, who doesn't love sugar cookies? That's what I thought.
The best part about this desert is how easy it is, really the only effort comes from the cookies. I simply used my regular sugar cookie recipe. While they were baking I whipped up a powdered sugar glaze for decorating, adding blue food coloring.
Store bought raspberry sorbet and vanilla ice cream (you could get fancy and do homemade) got layered into clear glass cups with a star-spangled cookie on top and a generous sprinkle of red sprinkles for extra sparkle.
Hope everyone had a fantastic 4th!
