Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup coca-cola (regular or cherry coke for a twist)
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup or caramel drizzle (optional)
Topping:
- ½ cup whipped cream
- 1 maraschino cherry (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Chill a tall glass in the freezer for a few minutes to ensure a frosty serving vessel.
- Gently whip the cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a luxurious base for the beverage.
- Carefully scoop vanilla ice cream into the chilled glass, allowing it to nestle smoothly against the sides.
- Tilt the glass at a slight angle and pour the Coca-Cola slowly down the interior, creating a mesmerizing cascade that minimizes excessive foam.
- Watch as the carbonated soda interacts with the creamy ice cream, forming a delightful, effervescent mixture.
- Crown the drink with a generous dollop of whipped cream, using a piping bag for an elegant, billowy presentation.
- For an indulgent finishing touch, artfully drizzle chocolate syrup or caramel in a graceful zigzag pattern across the cream.
- Place a vibrant maraschino cherry atop the whipped cream as a classic garnish.
- Serve immediately with a long-handled spoon and a wide straw to fully enjoy the layered textures and flavors.
Notes
- Use full-fat heavy cream for an ultra-rich, luxurious texture that creates a more decadent drink experience.
- Chill the glass beforehand to keep the drink colder longer and prevent rapid melting of the ice cream.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors like chocolate or cookies and cream for unique flavor variations.
- For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with almond milk or use low-fat vanilla ice cream to reduce calories without sacrificing taste.
