6 cups strong coffee
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1 pint good quality vanilla, cinnamon or coffee ice cream
unsweetened cocoa powder
purchased cookie sticks

Steps:

  • 1. Brew coffee and chill til cold.
  • 2. Pour 1 1/2 cups chilled coffee over 1 Tbsp. chocolate syrup and 2 scoops ice cream per float
  • 3. Garnish floats wit cocoa powder and cookies. Makes 4 floats

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality coffee and ice cream. The better the coffee and ice cream, the better the coffee float will be. Use a dark roast coffee for a richer flavor, and choose an ice cream that you love the taste of.
  • Use chilled coffee. Cold coffee will help keep your coffee float from becoming watery. If you don't have time to chill your coffee, you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Add flavorings to your coffee. If you want a more flavorful coffee float, you can add flavorings such as chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or vanilla extract to your coffee before chilling it.
  • Garnish your coffee float with whipped cream and a cherry. This will make your coffee float even more delicious and visually appealing.
