Happy 4th of July to all our nomster fans!!! It’s time to celebrate the United States’ independence the only way you can, with a sugar tone. Here are some of the best desserts assembled in this guide to celebrate.

Lucy Ricardo Milkshake @ Satellite Room

This milkshake brings all the hungry foodies to the yard from a unique late-night bar restaurant on U Street, DC’s foodie neighborhood. Nothing beats a chocolate milkshake. That is one very thick milkshake I just can’t wait to drink up.

Flap Jack Bacon Cupcake @ Baked & Wired Georgetown DC

I want my stack of pancakes in bacon cupcake form, like this Flap Jack Bacon Cupcake from our favorite and best-in-town cupcake place in Georgetown, DC’s fashion district. We love pancakes and cupcakes, so we can’t pass up a dessert that combines the best of both—plus bacon!

Nutella Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwich @ Captain Cookie Food Truck

It’s a create-your-own ice cream cookie sandwich. It’s time to try the fall secret flavor, pumpkin. It was like eating a cold pumpkin pie in ice cream form.

Peanut Butter, Chocolate & Banana @ Ted’s Bulletin

Made from scratch to order, these waffles are very soft and crispy on the outside and filled with yummy, gooey goodness.

Passion Fruit Creme Brulee @ Urban Butcher Silver Spring

This could be one of the most beautiful and happy-looking desserts we ever had the pleasure of noming on. It combines thick melted sugar, creamy creme brulee, and a beautiful sugary ball on top.

Pecan Pie @ Killer ESP Old Town Alexandria

Say hello to one of the best pecan pies in the DC metro area—possibly the world! It’s not too sweet and bland, with a little hint of chocolate, so you can still enjoy the fantastic flavor of pecan.

Banana Chocolate Chip @ That Cheesecake Food Truck

Cheesecake on a stick from one of the best nomnoms for lunch from a DC food truck. It’s probably one of the most perfect food truck desserts, especially for those who eat it on the go.

Crepes Brulee Brunch @ McGinty’s

When two desserts fall in love, they make a tasty brunch baby—one very delicious baby. They combined the best of two things with a crepe covered in lemon custard base cream and topped with berries and toasted pecans.

Caramel Popcorn Ice Cream Dessert @ 8407 Kitchen Bar Silver Spring

By the power of Greyskull, this is a fantastic dessert at the top restaurant in the downtown Town of Silver Spring, DC. How in the world did they make it taste just like caramel popcorn? It was as if I were eating a bag at T, the movie, but in sweet ice cream form.

Chocolate Onyx Dessert @ Co Co Sala

I could swim in an ocean of chocolate as long as it’s made out of Chocolate Onyx from one of the best dessert restaurants in Chinatown, DC, a foodie neighborhood. This place is known for its desserts, so bring on the sweetness! IT’S SO FLUFFY!!!! Dark chocolate mousse is so fluffy I thought I might just flow away.
