Description

This refreshing strawberry ice cream float combines vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberry sauce and strawberry soda, making it a perfect sweet treat for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 1 can strawberry soda, chilled
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (vanilla sugar optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Sauce:
    In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with the sugar. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the juices to release and form a fresh strawberry sauce.
  2. Assemble the Float:
    In each glass, alternate layers by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream followed by a spoonful of fresh strawberry sauce. Repeat until both glasses are filled.
  3. Pour the Soda:
    Slowly pour the chilled strawberry soda over the ice cream and strawberry layers.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    If desired, top the float with whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Customization: You can add extra strawberry sauce if you want a more fruity flavor. Adjust the amount of soda based on your preference for a sweeter or creamier float.
  • Strawberry Variations: For an extra touch, try using macerated strawberries with a dash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for added flavor.
