Description
This Easy cupids-potion-float features a combination of vanilla ice cream and strawberry syrup, topped with whipped cream and cherries for an irresistible dessert that’s simple to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup strawberry syrup
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon rose water
- 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, with stems
- whipped cream
- edible glitter or sprinkles
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Ensure the vanilla ice cream is well-frozen, softening slightly if needed. Have strawberry syrup, heavy cream, milk, optional rose water, and drained maraschino cherries ready.
- In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup, heavy cream, milk, and optional rose water. Blend until thick and smooth, similar to a milkshake consistency.
- Blend on medium-high speed until creamy and no ice chunks remain. Add a tablespoon of milk at a time if too thick, but avoid making it too runny.
- Pour the thick mixture into a tall serving glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Top with whipped cream (optional). Garnish with maraschino cherries (with stems) and edible glitter or sprinkles (optional) for a magical presentation.
- Serve immediately with a long spoon and a straw.
Notes
For best texture, ensure your ice cream is just slightly softened before blending.
Feel free to adjust sweetness by adding more or less strawberry syrup.
