Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) orange punch
Garnishes:
- Whipped cream
- Halloween sprinkles
- Candy corn
Instructions
- Chill a tall glass in the freezer for a few minutes to enhance the frosty presentation.
- Carefully nestle a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream against the side of the glass, allowing it to create a smooth, inviting base.
- Gradually stream the vibrant orange punch over the ice cream, filling the glass to about three-quarters full to prevent overflow and maintain a neat appearance.
- Crown the float with a billowing layer of fluffy whipped cream, creating soft peaks that rise above the glass rim.
- Sprinkle Halloween-themed confetti or orange and black sugar crystals across the whipped cream surface for festive flair.
- Delicately place a single candy corn at the center of the whipped cream as a classic Halloween accent.
- Serve immediately while the float is icy cold, using a long spoon and a striped Halloween straw for an extra touch of seasonal fun.
Notes
- Swap vanilla ice cream with dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond milk ice cream for a vegan-friendly version.
- Choose low-sugar orange punch or make a homemade version to control sweetness and reduce overall calories.
- Use plastic Halloween-themed straws or stirrers to make the float more festive and fun for kids.
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the float colder longer and prevent rapid melting of ice cream.
