Best Gluten-Free 4th of July Desserts

Once you've fired up the grill and devoured all the salads and side dishes that go along with your all-American feast, the next best thing to do is eat dessert. Because a 4th of July celebration doesn't end until you've had some red, white, and blue treats!

But all too often those festive foods aren't gluten-free. So take charge of your dessert destiny and bring your own patriotic (and gluten-free) sweet treats to this year's party.

How Do You Make Gluten-Free Dessert Recipes for the 4th of July?

Maybe you are a pro at gluten-free baking. Or perhaps you stick to naturally gluten-free desserts like ice cream, pudding, or fruit desserts. No matter your approach, the best way to make any sweet treat perfectly patriotic is to decorate it with the good old red, white and blue. Luckily there are plenty of ways to do that without gluten-containing ingredients.

• Berries and other fruit: Strawberries and blueberries are a healthy and natural way to add patriotic colors to your gluten-free desserts.
• Food coloring: You can buy food dye that is gluten-free so that you can tint things like icing, cake batter, and even ice cream!
• Flavored gelatin: Your favorite brand of gelatin is gluten-free so that you can make jiggly treats and even color and flavor buttercream for cakes and cupcakes.
• Candy melts: While you will have to verify that the brand you choose is gluten-free, you can get colored coating chocolate to dip, drizzle, or coat things like brownies, chocolate bark, and sweet snack mixes.
• Sprinkles: Again, this is a product where you do have to check if the brand contains gluten, but there are many types of dessert decorations in all sorts of festive colors that are safe to use for mixing in or decorating your red, white, and blue desserts.
