However, no 4th of July celebration is ever complete without the patriotic pie. Here are 7 patriotic pie ideas, all of which with a fun and unique modern twist, that you need to try this upcoming Independence Day.

The original recipe from CurlyGirlKitchen.com features an oven-baked crust. However, you can make a no-bake version using the same crust ingredients. What you need to do is make the crust, press it on the pan, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.

The following day, proceed with the rest of the prep's steps. And then once the pie is complete, refrigerate for at least 4 more hours before serving.

Independence Day Berry Pie Pops

You can also make these simple tweaks to the process:

  1. Instead of making your own pie dough, as suggested in the original recipe, you can use store-bought chilled dough instead.
  2. Make 2 separate fillings: one with strawberry and raspberry, and another with blueberry and blackberry. This way you will have red and blue pie pops.
  3. Vary the shapes of your pie pops. Aside from the original round-shaped pops, you can also make star-shaped ones too. All you need is a cookie cutter.
