Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups orange soda
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 4 gummy worms
- 4 candy corn
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 2 cups of orange soda, 1 cup of whipped cream, 4 gummy worms, and 4 pieces of candy corn. Ensure you have a large serving glass or cup for each float.
- Take the vanilla ice cream and scoop 1/2 cup into each serving glass. You can use an ice cream scoop or a large spoon for this. The ice cream should be slightly softened for easier scooping, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if necessary.
- Next, slowly pour 1/2 cup of orange soda over the ice cream in each glass. Pour gently to avoid overflowing and to create a fun fizzing effect. The orange soda will mix with the ice cream, creating a creamy, bubbly float.
- Once the soda is added, top each float with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Use a spoon or a piping bag for a more decorative presentation.
- Now, it's time to add some festive Halloween touches. Place a gummy worm on the rim of each glass, letting it dangle down the side for a spooky effect.
- Finally, add a piece of candy corn on top of the whipped cream for a pop of color and sweetness. This will not only enhance the visual appeal but also add a delightful crunch.
- Serve the Halloween ice cream floats immediately with a straw and a spoon. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and the fun Halloween theme!
Tips
- Choose the Right Glassware: Opt for large, clear glasses to showcase the vibrant colors of the orange soda and the creamy ice cream. Mason jars or tall sundae glasses add a fun twist!
- Soften the Ice Cream: To make scooping easier, let your vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. This will help it blend perfectly with the soda.
- Pour Gently: When adding the orange soda, pour it slowly over the ice cream to prevent overflow and create that delightful fizzing effect. You want to keep the layers distinct for a more appealing presentation.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Feel free to mix up the toppings! Use Halloween-themed sprinkles, chocolate syrup, or even mini marshmallows to enhance the festive flair of your floats.
- Serve Immediately: These floats are best enjoyed right after you make them. The combination of ice cream and soda creates a delightful texture that can quickly melt, so serve them with straws and spoons for maximum enjoyment!
