15 Memorial Day Desserts That Will Make Your Cookout Sweeter

With all the grilling that happens on Memorial Day, you might not end up with much room for dessert. But what’s a cookout without something sweet? After a meal of smoky, savory grilled meats, dessert is certainly welcome. It’s also a great opportunity to show off fruit that’s just starting to come into season: Think flaky, golden-crusted pies bursting with fresh cherries or blueberries, a moist and tender blackberry cake topped with tangy cream cheese frosting, the best strawberry ice cream, and more. Don’t let the fun stop with fruit, though—we’ve got no-bake chocolate squares and Texas sheet cake to please the chocolate lovers-out there. Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find the right recipe for your cookout in this collection of 15 Memorial Day dessert recipes.
