- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon coffee beans or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Pour the cooled coffee over the ice cream, allowing it to settle and slightly melt for a creamy texture.
Top the float with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream for a luscious finish.

Garnish with a few coffee beans or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra treat.
