If you are like me, you want to do the Fourth of July cookout. However, there’s nothing less appealing that being stuck in the hot kitchen! Especially if this fourth is as hot as a few days these past couple of weeks.
I plan to make it easy on myself this year. I will prepare the sides salads at night when it’s cooler. Then we will throw some corn on the grill with the burgers and for dessert, I plan to make this refreshing berry treat. There’s no baking, and you can mix it up in a matter of minutes. It’s cool, refreshing and delicious! The strawberries and blueberries will look perfectly patriotic but for occasions in the future, try other fresh fruits instead.
- 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- ⅓ c. fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp. grated lemon peel
- 2 c. vanilla yogurt
- 2 c. miniature marshmallows
- ½ c. chopped pecans
- 1 c. sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 c. fresh blueberries
- In a bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon peel, and yogurt. Stir in marshmallows and pecans.
- Spread half of the mixture in an ungreased 8 x 8-inch square dish. Sprinkle with half of the strawberries and blueberries. Cover with the remaining yogurt mixture; top with remaining berries.
- Cover and freeze. Remove from freezer 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
