Top 30 Gluten-Free Red, White, and Blue Desserts

It’s almost Memorial Day weekend. How can that be? Time has seemed to both move slowly and at the speed of light during this last year or so. You can also be sure that July 4th will be here before we know it because that’s how life works, right? As I do every year, I thoughhomemt I’d help you get ready for these patriotic holidays with some delicious gluten-free red, white, and blue desserts. And yes, some are actually all three—red, white, and blue.

Memorial Day is a time of remembrance and honoring those who gave their lives for our country, but also another opportunity to spend some special time with our families. My dad served our country but he did not die in service. We were so blessed to have him for eight plus decades. So many others—buried with him at Quantico National Cemetery and elsewhere—were not so fortunate. My heart goes out to all they left behind, today and every day. 

Many consider this weekend to also be the kickoff for summer, despite the fact that summer officially begins in late June. Our family will definitely be getting together to remember the fallen and celebrate unofficial summer with some delicious food and an appropriate dessert.

This listing of red, white, and blue desserts is an updated collection of patriotic recipes for us to consider. I’ve not only added some new desserts but I’ve also added more detailed information on these recipes—such as whether or not they’re also dairy free, egg free, vegetarian, etc. I also want to look out for all my gfe readers. So many of us eat “more free” than “just gluten free,” right?

Admittedly, one or two of these recipes might be more pink than red, and some might have some additional colors, but I don’t think you’ll mind! If you see a “white” dessert that strikes your fancy, but you want the red-white-and-blue trifecta for a patriotic presentation, simply add some red and blue by way of topping with red and blue fruit, fruit sauces, fruit jam, or appropriate ice cream/yogurt.

Remember that icing alone—for cakes and cupcakes for example—can also give you some perfect red, white, and blue gluten-free desserts. I’m sure you all will have even more ideas. Get creative if necessary and enjoy!

    These are all so pretty — I have wanted to do a version of that watermelon cake for some time, maybe this will be the summer? And Linda’s angel food cake has been on my list to make too… I have heard people rave about it! Thanks for sharing these to really kick off summer! xoxo

      Thanks for taking the time to comment, Sarah. Yes, Linda’s Angel Cake is beyond amazing! Watermelon baskets, cakes, etc. are treats that look like they might be super hard to make and tedious, but once you get going, they’re not that bad at all and they’re fun to make and eat. The presentation and “oohs” and “ahhs” might be the best part though. 😉

      It’s not officially summer yet, but it sure feels like it! 🙂 xoxo,
      Shirley

      Thank you, April! I must admit that I’ve loved this roundup since the day I compiled it. Red, white, and blue recipes are fun and I love patriotic holidays! Looking forward to remembering and honoring those we lost and spending relaxing time with Mr. GFE, too. Hope you have a lovely weekend, too, dear!

    Shirley,
    Such a thoughtful post to remind us of the significance of this Memorial Day. I think we often get caught up in the BBQ’s and the food and forgot how many fought and died so we could enjoy freedom. As always, these are some great looking recipes.
