Ingredients
Scale
Decoration
- 3 Tablespoons icing white writing
- 1 Teaspoon Halloween-themed sprinkles
- candy eyes (optional for garnish)
Float
- 6 Ounces orange soda, chilled
- ¾ Cup vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Take a clean, completely dry glass and use the white writing icing to slowly pipe along the top edge of the glass, allowing the icing to drip down the sides. Vary your speed to create larger drips in some areas for a spooky effect.
- Add sprinkles: While the icing is still wet, carefully sprinkle the Halloween-themed sprinkles onto the icing so they stick and create a festive decoration.
- Add ice cream: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, add vanilla ice cream to the glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Pour orange soda: Slowly pour chilled orange soda into the glass, filling only halfway at first to control the fizzing and foam. Once the fizz settles, top the float off with more soda until the glass is full.
- Garnish and serve: Add festive straws, candy pumpkins, candy corn, or candy eyes for added Halloween fun and serve immediately before the ice cream melts.
Notes
- To get the right consistency of icing for dripping, warm the icing pouch in hot water for about a minute to make it runnier. If the icing drips too much, chill the glasses in the refrigerator or place them in front of a fan to set faster.
- A 12-ounce glass is ideal for serving. Adjust ingredient quantities if using different sized glasses or making multiple servings.
- You can use clear plastic cups instead of glass for an easy disposable option.
- Serve the ice cream floats immediately after preparation to prevent the ice cream from melting and losing the float’s signature texture and presentation.
