Floatin’ on Coconut Dreams: The Ultimate Coconut Cream Soda Float

Okay, can we just take a second to appreciate the magic of floats? Like, who doesn’t love a drink you can eat with a spoon?? It’s like dessert and a drink had a baby, and then that baby got super hyped on sugar! 😂 But seriously, this Coconut Cream Soda Float has my heart.

Main dish photo — *The finished dish — looks amazing, right?*

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, let’s hit the store! So, you’re gonna need:

– 1 cup coconut cream (the good stuff—like, don’t skimp!)
– 1 cup coconut water (sadly, not the same as regular water…)
– 2 cups soda water or sparkling water (I go for the fizz!)
– 2 tablespoons vanilla extract (make sure it’s alcohol-free unless you’re feeling wild)
– 2 tablespoons sugar (or whatever sweetener you’re into)
– 1 cup ice cream (coconut or vanilla, but coconut is like, a MUST)
– Toasted coconut flakes (they make everything fancy)
– Maraschino cherries (because, duh)

I mean, that’s it! Simple, right? You might already have some of this lying around your pantry—like, who doesn’t have coconut cream at home? (If you don’t, we need to talk. 😂)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, here’s the scoop: I whipped this float up one hot summer day when I was just dying for something cool and refreshing. I honestly thought, “Hey, I’ve got coconut cream! Let’s get weird.” So, I did, and it was, like, a total game changer. I remember sitting on my porch, sipping this float, and just feeling so good about life. It’s like a tropical vacation in a glass!

And, oh man, can I just say? I made it for a little get-together with friends, and they practically inhaled it. Like, I barely got one sip before it was gone. 😂 But like, their joy was totally worth it!

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

Here’s another angle of the float because, obviously, we need to drool over it some more!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

So here’s the deal: pour the coconut cream mixture really slowly over the ice cream. Trust me on this one! It creates that epic fizz and float effect. I mean, if you just dump it all in, it’ll be a bubbly mess. And nobody wants that.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Seriously, check your coconut cream before you buy it. Make sure it’s not expired—yikes, right?
– If you wanna get fancy, toast your coconut flakes a little bit before sprinkling them on top. Just a light toasty color, and you’re golden.
– OH! And about the ice cream—don’t skimp on the quality. Life’s too short for bad ice cream, amirite?

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, sooo… good luck with the leftovers, haha! But if you have any leftover coconut cream mixture, you can store it in the fridge for about 3 days. Just give it a good stir before using it again! But don’t prepare the float too far in advance, or it’ll just become a sad puddle.
