Root beer floats may be common in most parts of the United States, but in the South, our soda of choice for floats is Coca-Cola. How I used to love drinking a frosty Coke float loaded with ice cream! This float doesn’t have ice cream or Coke in it, but the addition of real cream mimics the flavor of melted ice cream. It’s delicious!
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• 1 (12-ounce) can sugar-free cola or other flavored soda of choice
• Liquid stevia
• Whipped Cream, for serving
1. Place a 20-ounce mug in the freezer until it is frosty.
2. Place the crushed ice in the frosty mug, then pour in the cream. Slowly pour the soda over the ice and cream. Add stevia to your desired sweetness, then stir to combine. Top with whipped cream and serve immediately.
Notes:
Zevia sodas are a good option for this recipe because they are sweetened with stevia. Keep a mug stored in the freezer for a frosty drink anytime you want one!
