Celebrate summer and the 4th of July with these patriotic lemon berry shortcakes with lemon cream.

Lemon Berry Shortcakes with Lemon Cream

It’s that time of year when we love everything red, white and blue.  I just feel more patriotic whenever I see these colors. I love decorating with it, wearing it and even eating that color combo this time of year!

One of my favorite  ways to make that red, white and blue combo is with fresh berries.  I am lucky enough to live in the Pacific Northwest where fresh berries are plentiful and they even grow in my own back yard.  A combination of red strawberries and raspberries and then some blueberries is perfect.  Of course for the white all you have to do is add whipped cream.

Lemon Berry Shortcakes with Lemon Cream

Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite summertime desserts and today I have a fun little flavor and patriotic twist on it for you.

I dressed up the shortcake with some lemon zest and lemon juice and to make it patriotic I used my star shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shortcakes. Sprinkle them with a little sugar before baking.

They make the perfect container for some wonderful lemon cream and fresh berries.  They are good enough to eat all by themselves but trust me on this one, you are going to want to add some berries and whip cream.  It’s more patriotic too!

Lemon Berry Shortcakes with Lemon Cream

Just slice the shortcake in half and pile on the lemon cream and berries.  The more, the better!

    This looks yummy! My mom used to cut out shapes and put them on top of her cobblers. She would sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on them. To me, that was the best part of the whole dish!
