    4th of July dessert or Layered Jello dessert is one of the easiest, addictive 3-layer treats you can make to celebrate American Independence Day on July 4th. This dessert is going to be a crowd-pleaser at your party.

    To make this jello dessert, you can use any flavored jello to get the colors you want. I love to use strawberry for red and blueberry for blue. You can even go with cherry or raspberry for the red color. I use agar agar or unflavored gelatin mixed with milk, cream, and vanilla extract for the white-colored jello layer. These days pina colada jello is also available, which you can use to make the white layer.

    Kids will enjoy not only eating this but also making this lovely dessert. Though putting everything together is easy, it is time-consuming because after creating every layer, you will have to wait for an hour for it to set. But the end result makes it worth it.

    This red, white, and blue dessert is not only for the 4th of July - but you can also serve it for all patriotic holidays.

    You can present this jello in shot glasses, or small single-serving cups, or you can make three layers in a single pan one after another and cut them into star shapes using a star cookie cutter. Just plan how you want to present and serve this dessert before you start working on the first layer. Rest all is super easy.

    If you want to check out the popular desserts that I have made for the 4th of July over the years, then check this out: Berry Pie in the form of an American flag and Red White and Blue Panna cotta using fresh berries.
