Instructions
Instructions
- If you're making homemade berry syrup for this recipe, check out my tutorials for homemade raspberry syrup and homemade strawberry syrup. Have it fully cooled (chilled is best) and ready to go before making your ice cream floats. You can also use store-bought berry syrup if you prefer.
- Before you assemble your float, combine heavy whipping cream and sugar in a mixing bowl and whip until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- For each ice cream float, in a tall chilled glass, combine 1/4 cup berry syrup with 3/4 cup soda water or seltzer. Gently stir to combine. Add 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with freshly whipped cream and fresh berries and a fun decorative straw. Serve.
Notes
- You will also need: Electric hand mixer (for whipping cream), 8 tall chilled glasses
- Notes: You can make this recipe using store-bought berry syrup or homemade fresh berry syrup. If you want to make berry syrup from scratch, here are some tutorials on my site:
- Raspberry Syrup Recipe
- Strawberry Syrup Recipe
- You can even make this with a combination of berry syrup and rhubarb syrup, for a fun twist:

- Calories calculated using simple syrup (made without berries), and berry garnish is not included in the calculation. Prep time does not include making berry syrup from scratch.
- To Make Dairy Free: Substitute coconut whipped cream for the whipping cream (you can often find pre-whipped varieties in the freezer section, or whip your own). If your coconut cream is already sweetened, omit the added sugar. Substitute a dairy-free ice cream or sorbet.
