Serving the rich, fresh-tasting dessert decorated like the flag is a great salute to the nation's independence! I used a new recipe I found and made some modifications based on tricks my grandma taught me.—Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

I made this on the Fourth of July when I met my boss's entire family! Everyone loved it so much my own mom (who went with me) didn't even get to taste it. I don't like fruit, but it looked wonderful. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it!
