Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons icing white writing
  • 1 Teaspoon sprinkles Halloween-themed
  • candy eyes
  • 6 Ounces orange soda chilled
  • ¾ Cup vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • Take a clean glass cup, make sure it is completely dry. Use the writing icing to slowly pipe icing around the top edge of the glass, allowing it to drip down the sides. Move slower in some spots, building up the icing to create larger drips.
  • Carefully sprinkle the Halloween themed sprinkles on the wet icing.
  • When all of your glasses have been rimmed, use a small cookie scoop or a small spoon to scoop the ice cream into the glasses. Fill the glasses about ¾ of the way full with ice cream.
  • Slowly pour the chilled orange soda into each glass, only fill them about halfway full, as the soda will fizz and foam upward. Continue to add more soda once the foam has stopped growing until the glasses are full.
  • Add festive straws and garnishes such as candy pumpkins or candy corn.

Notes

The right consistency of icing: You might want to put the icing pouch in hot water for a minute or so, to make it runnier so it drips more easily. If it's dripping too much, put the glasses in the refrigerator or in front of a fan.
Serving glasses: A 12-ounce glass is a good serving size. Adjust the amount of ingredients if you use larger or smaller ones. This recipe serves one, so just use more ingredients if you're making several. If you don't want to use glasses, you can use clear plastic cups.
Make them fresh: An ice cream float should be served immediately before the ice cream melts. So, if you're waiting for the kids to return from trick or treating or expecting more party guests later, plan to make this perfect treat nearer the time or at least add ice cream just before serving.
