It’s Independence Day weekend in the United States, with Americans everywhere celebrating the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776.

How do most Americans celebrate? By eating too much, getting drunk, and watching fireworks. Don’t ask me why, that’s just how it is. But why not, eh?

Desserts are an important part of any Independence Day feast, and this video shows Betty making a Fourth Of July dessert recipe she calls strawberry/blueberry parfait.

I must admit this dessert looks absolutely exquisite, and I’m tempted to make it even though I’m British and don’t celebrate the Fourth Of July. Any excuse for a creamy dessert.
