collage of 4th of july fruit recipes

Try out one of these delicious 4th of July fruit recipes for some patriotic snacks and treats full of delicious fresh fruit! With fun flag cakes, fruit salads, and more, these are the best summer sides and desserts to bring to your 4th of July party!

square collage of 4th of july fruit recipes

There’s just something about fresh berries, even just fresh fruit, that says summer to me, so I thought it would be fun to share a bunch of fourth of July recipes that are made with fruit!

These are perfect for when you don’t necessarily want to serve all red, white, and blue desserts but you still want to share something sweet.

And don’t forget to add this cream cheese fruit dip to go along with all of these recipes. It’s the best fruit dip I’ve personally ever tried and goes well with any of these fruit recipes for all the summer holidays!

Tip!

If you don’t like the fruit used for some of these 4th of July fruit recipes, try out your favorite fruit that’s a similar color instead. Blueberries can be replaced with blackberries. Strawberries can be replaced with cherries, raspberries, and watermelon in most cases! Bananas and apples both make great white fruit options!
