Ingredients
Scale
Decorations
- 3 Tablespoons icing white writing
- 1 Teaspoon Halloween-themed sprinkles
- candy eyes (as needed)
Main Ingredients
- 6 Ounces orange soda, chilled
- ¾ Cup vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Take a clean, completely dry glass. Use the white writing icing to slowly pipe around the top edge, allowing the icing to drip down the sides in varied lengths to create a spooky effect.
- Add Sprinkles: While the icing is still wet, carefully sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles and candy eyes onto the drips to decorate the glass rim.
- Add Ice Cream: Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the glass using a small cookie scoop or spoon, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Pour Orange Soda: Slowly pour chilled orange soda into the glass, filling it halfway first to allow the soda to fizz and foam. Once the foaming subsides, gently add more soda until the glass is full.
- Garnish and Serve: Add festive straws and optional garnishes such as candy pumpkins or candy corn. Serve immediately to enjoy the ice cream float at its best.
Notes
- If the white writing icing is too thick to drip nicely, warm it briefly in hot water to loosen it. If it’s dripping too much, chill the glasses in the refrigerator or use a fan to speed up setting.
- A 12-ounce glass is ideal for serving; adjust ingredient amounts accordingly if using different sized glasses.
- This recipe makes one serving. Multiply ingredients to prepare more floats for a party or group.
- Ice cream floats should be served immediately before the ice cream melts to maintain the best texture and flavor.
