Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups Club soda or sparkling water
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 4 pieces Fresh strawberries (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and hull the fresh strawberries, then chop them into smaller pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and water. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, or until the strawberries break down and create a thick syrup.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the syrup to cool completely. Optionally, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any strawberry seeds or pulp.
To assemble each ice cream soda, spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry syrup into the bottom of a tall glass.
Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass, followed by slowly pouring 1/2 cup of club soda or sparkling water over the top. Be careful not to overflow the glass as the soda reacts with the ice cream.
Top the ice cream soda with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a fresh strawberry.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon for an indulgent treat.
