Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 scoops chocolate ice cream
- 2 cups root beer
- 0.5 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 2 pieces cherry (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chill two tall glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting the recipe to ensure the float stays cold and refreshing.
Scoop two generous scoops of chocolate ice cream into each chilled glass.
Slowly pour 1 cup of root beer into each glass over the ice cream. Pouring slowly will help minimize foam overflow.
Use a long spoon or straw to gently stir the root beer and ice cream together, creating a creamy, fizzy mixture.
Top each float with a generous dollop of whipped cream for an extra creamy touch.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for added flavor and a decorative touch.
If desired, garnish each float with a cherry and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon. Enjoy!
