I really enjoyed the last 2 1/2 weeks watching the Paris Summer Olympics with my family.
We all especially liked the gymnastics and trampoline teams and we have mixed feelings about the addition of break dancing this year!
So proud of all the USA teams for their determination and drive!
Go Team USA!
This patriotic dessert board features fresh fruit, creamy dip, sweet cheese, and red, white, and blue treats. It was inspired by Team USA and perfect for enjoying while you watch the Olympics recaps and ceremonies this summer.

I started with a large round gold platter. I placed a gold #1 medal and ribbon in the center. I used a chocolate medal but you can also just use a plastic one.
I found this world flag lanyard too and added it around the border.
Now start preparing our treats. I using mini brie circles with flag toothpicks, blonde Oreo “medals”, cheesecake tarts topped with fruit ( recipe here) , patriotic truffles, and a blue mini moon pie.
I used a food safe marker to write USA on the blue moon pie . You could also do this with a frosted cookie or large marshmallow.
Add your treats to the board.
Now start adding red and blue fruit. I used large sliced strawberries and plump blueberries.
Keep filling in spaces with fruit, marshmallows, truffles, and cookies.
These cheesecake tarts are so simple and pretty!
This dessert dip was a gooey butter cake mix with cream cheese.
I added gold sprinkles at the end and served flag shaped crackers around the bowl for dipping.
Arrange all the ingredients so the fit and fill in any open spaces. Serve immediately.
Bright, colorful, and full of treats. Perfect!
Go Team USA!
