Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate soda
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Graham cracker crumbs for garnish
- Marshmallows for topping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of chocolate soda, 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, graham cracker crumbs for garnish, and marshmallows for topping.
- Take two tall glasses or dessert bowls and set them aside for serving.
- Pour 1 cup of chocolate soda evenly into the two glasses, filling them about halfway.
- Using an ice cream scoop, add 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass on top of the chocolate soda. The ice cream should float on top, creating a delicious contrast with the soda.
- Carefully add the second scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass, allowing it to sit on top of the first scoop.
- Next, take a handful of graham cracker crumbs and sprinkle them generously over the top of the ice cream in each glass. This will add a crunchy texture and a hint of flavor.
- Finally, take a few marshmallows and place them on top of the ice cream and graham cracker crumbs. For an extra touch, you can lightly toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch or under a broiler for a few seconds until golden brown.
- Serve the S'mores Floats immediately with a spoon and a straw, and enjoy this delightful treat!
Tips
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the float extra cold and prevent rapid melting
- Use high-quality chocolate soda for the richest flavor – artisan or craft sodas work best
- For perfectly toasted marshmallows, use a kitchen torch for precise golden-brown color
- If you don't have a torch, carefully toast marshmallows under the broiler, watching closely to prevent burning
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors like chocolate or rocky road for unique variations
- Crush graham crackers just before serving to maintain their crispy texture
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the perfect balance of cold soda, creamy ice cream, and crunchy graham cracker topping
