FAQ + Tips And Tricks For Gluten-Free 4th of July Treats
Keep Them Safe! Remember that if you’re serving gluten-free desserts for 4th of July, they need separate serving utensils than desserts that have gluten. Even small amounts of gluten can cause damage or illness to folks with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, so it’s important to keep gluten-free desserts & serving utensils separate from those that aren’t gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
What Are The Best Make-Ahead Desserts For 4th of July? I love our Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches or Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie since they can be made in advance and frozen. Then, you just need to pull them out when you’re ready! Or, our 4th of July Chex Mix since it’ll stay fresh for several days!
