Patriotic Berry Tart
Patriotic Berry Tart. Happy 4th of July guys !! We’re celebrating with super easy super fun and super delicious patriotic berry loaded tart. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries soaked in grand marnier on top of a cream cheese jammy filling. Hope you all have a great holiday !!
It is finally 4th of July !!!! One of my favorite holidays…behind thanksgiving of course. I don’t know what it is about this holiday, but it has always been a favorite of mine growing up. I can always remember 4th of July nights as kid at the beach, watching the fireworks. I always LOVED the fireworks so so much.
So whether this holiday is nostalgic for me or I just love summer holidays at the beach, 4th of July has definitely been known to be at the top of my list of holidays that I love.
So I really wanted to do a fun dessert because 4th of July dessert possibilities are nearly endless. I love to do something patriotic with all the summery berries. So the past two years I have done a flag pie. I thought this year I would change it up and do one of our favorite tart recipes. So if you think you have seen a version of this dessert on our blog before, it’s because you probably have.
It’s a super easy, no bake recipe. Filled with lots of berry jams and topped with ALL the berries you have to love. But soak the berries in grand mariner because it’s 4th of July so make it fun, you know?! And my favorite and the absolute key to every tart we make…the cinnamon graham cracker crust. SO SO good you guys !!
The weather was finally nice today !! The sun is shining and the vibes are incredible for one of my favorite holidays, so I surely cannot complain. Anyway, time to get back to the BBQ and cocktails, so I hope you all have an amazing 4th of July !! Cheers !!
