    This Red White & Blue No Bake Dessert Recipe is perfect for super hot summer days!

    You know what I am talking about.

    Those days when you don't want to turn on your oven, but want something sweet to feed a crowd!

    Oh, and it also needs to be something light.

    Because it is 100 degrees.

    What Is In The Red, White And Blue Cake? 

    There are two parts to this easy no-bake cake.

    The base is made by finely chopping up vanilla sandwich cookies in a food processor. Then, the cake on top is made with mostly whipped topping, marshmallows, and milk. 

    You can decorate it however you want - that's the fun part!

    I like to make this patriotic no-bake cake look festive with red, white, and blue candies on top.

    4th of July No Bake Dessert Steps With Pictures 

    If you enjoy seeing how a recipe is made, keep scrolling. Here's how I made this easy no-bake dessert. 

    First, add the sandwich cookies to a food processor and process for 10 seconds or until crumbly.

    Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

    Set the completed mixture aside. 

    Adding the cookie crust to the casserole dish

    Add marshmallows and milk to a large, microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 60 seconds on high power.

    Stir well and return to the microwave for an additional 60 seconds on high powder and stir until smooth.

    Adding milk to mini marshmallows

    Let stand to cool (about 30 minutes), stirring occasionally until cool.

    Ingredient Swaps 

    You can swap out the golden/vanilla sandwich cookies for Oreos/chocolate, too. And feel free to use your favorite candies on top! You don't have to use M&Ms. 

    Add M&Ms Last 

    If you put on the M&M candies the day before serving, they do bleed a little bit while they are refrigerated, but it is not the end of the world if you ask me!

    I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook! 

    Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!
