Frozen desserts and also the basics

Frozen desserts, ice cream and sorbet alike, can be perfect Fourth of July barbecue desserts. To make a frozen dessert, you need to take a basic mixture of ingredients and freeze it when agitating it. Mixing the ingredients with air when you freeze it keeps the dessert light and edible. There are numerous choices of how to freeze ice cream. First, you can do the picnic-friendly double can method – take a small coffee can, fill it with the dessert mixture, and tape it closed. Put the small can inside a larger can that is first filled with ice and rock salt, tape the whole thing closed, and kick it around until the ice is very close to melted. You are able to also purchase ice cream makers.

For red we have a strawberry sorbet

Strawberry sorbet may sound like the simplest dessert, but you can make it much more fancy. Blend in a blender:

Do 1 pound of cut and hulled strawberries
1/2 cup agave nectar
The 2 sprigs fresh basil or mint
Then you just freeze and enjoy!

Ice cream that's a simple white

A basic vanilla, mint, or even almond ice cream can be an amazing white dessert for the Fourth of July. Combine:

Do 2 cups half and half
Do 1 cup whipping cream
Do 1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flavor extract – mint, almond, or vanilla bean.
Freeze, combine, and enjoy!

Blue – Fourth of July blueberry sorbet

The blue sorbet can be tried for Fourth of July. Combine ingredients in blender:

2 pints blueberries
Do 1 pint blackberries or huckleberries
The ½ cup agave nectar or 1 cup simple syrup
Freeze it, then enjoy!

These recipes, of course, are just suggestions. You are able to combine, blend and love just about any kind of fruit, sugar, and flavoring to create fun desserts. Remember to enjoy the Fourth of July!
