Fruity Star Spangled Dessert

A Star Spangled Dessert
This dessert is a natural addition to any Fourth of July barbecue. It is also a healthy and nutritious dessert for any hot summer day. Your kids will like it so much they’ll even start to make their own shapes after a while.
1. Clean and hull strawberries
2. Add a dollop of whipped cream cheese to the top of each strawberry
3. Sprinkle cream cheese with sugar for a touch of sweetness (optional)
4. Top each strawberry with a blueberry
5. Arrange 5 strawberries in star pattern on plate
6. Serve to kids and watch disappear
Once you hull the strawberries and whip the cream cheese, your kids can assemble the rest of the dessert themselves. Don’t be surprised if they end up assembling Patrick Star (SpongeBob SquarePants dim-witted Starfish friend).
