Low Carb Ice Cream Float Recipe – An easy keto ice cream soda float that’s simple to make and a delight to enjoy.
Low Carb Ice Cream Float Recipe
I haven’t had an ice cream float since I was a kid, so I was curious to experiment with what I had in my kitchen to discover if I could create a low carb ice cream float recipe.
The results? Surprisingly simple – it’s doesn’t take much to create a fizzy, icy drink with ingredients you may already have in your kitchen.
Low Carb Fizzy Drink Ideas
In this instance I used Sparkling Water for the fizzy element. But, you could use your low carb soda of choice instead. I’ve even tried making it with Kombucha and it’s resulted in a tangy ice cream float.
What Ice Cream To Use?
I used a couple of spoonfuls of Halo Top, because that’s what I had in my freezer. I know there’s debate around whether Halo is actually low carb or not – I include a couple of spoons from time to time and don’t have any problems.
You can use whatever low carb ice cream you usually enjoy, or make your own with an ice cream maker. (Where to find one!) Simply follow your favourite ice cream recipe and substitute in the sugar with stevia and you’ll be enjoying low carb ice cream which you can then turn into a low carb ice cream float in no time!
Flavour Options
There are endless flavour options, you can go for a plain vanilla ice cream with sparkling water and add a teeny splash of vanilla extract to flavour. Or, you can go crazy and use berry ice cream and top with fresh berries.
I’ve also had success with caramel flavoured ice cream and mixing through Irish Cream Essence for a sweet and caramel/baileys flavoured low carb ice cream float. (Where to find Irish Cream Essence.)
My preference is to always top mine with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Feel free to do the same.
As you can see – the choice is yours. Mix and match to create ice cream sodas that float your boat!
