    Berry Ice Cream Floats with Sparkling Aranciata

    July 14, 2016

    July is National Ice Cream Month! Which obviously means I’ll use any excuse to grab a Dairy Queen, or to make these tasty berry ice cream floats!

    These simple ice cream floats are perfect for cooling down this summer! They feature a tasty berry syrup, fresh berries, and sparking aranciata.

    I love ice cream. I mean, come on. What’s not to love about that peanut butter and cookie dough blizzard I scarfed down from our local DQ last night? Maybe these berry ice cream floats might be better. Because let me tell you – they are bubbly and berry-licious!

    I’ve been kind of obsessed with this whole “pouring liquid things over ice cream” idea ever since my sister and I dined at a restaurant called Balena in Chicago. This was at least 4 years ago, but I still remember the dessert we had: it was a beautiful homemade vanilla ice cream paired with homemade cinnamon sugar donut holes. It was served with a side shot of espresso that you poured over the ice cream and in which you then dunked the donuts. The way the ice cream started to fizz and melt when you poured the liquid over it – I’ll never forget how delicious that dish was!

    Which is why I was super excited to share this recipe with you all today. These ice cream floats feature refreshing vanilla ice cream paired with a super simple warm berry compote. I kicked it up a notch with this compote too, with the addition of orange liqueur! This helps play off the citrus notes of the San Pellegrino Aranciata, which I used to top off the dish for some bubbly. Add some fresh blackberries and raspberries, and a hint of orange zest, and you’ve got a winning summer dessert combo. My mouth is watering again just writing about it!

    Ingredients
    1. 2 cups frozen whole berries
    2. 1 tbsp. orange liqueur
    3. 1 small pinch kosher salt
    4. 4 large scoops vanilla ice cream
    5. Raspberries, for garnish
    6. Blackberries, for garnish
    7. 1 cup San Pellegrino Aranciata (sparkling orange soda)
    8. Orange zest, for garnish (optional)
    Instructions
    1. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine frozen berries, orange liqueur and kosher salt. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their liquid and form a syrupy consistency, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
    2. Scoop vanilla ice cream into tall glasses or bowls. Top each bowl with a large spoonful of the berry syrup and some fresh blackberries and raspberries. Pour about ¼ cup sparkling San Pellegrino Aranciata over each bowl and top with orange zest, if desired. Enjoy!
