Step 3: Pour the Fizzy Pumpkin Soda
Slowly pour 1 cup of pumpkin soda over the ice cream. Pouring gently helps keep the fizz from overflowing and gives you that classic float effect. Watch as the bubbles lift the creamy pumpkin ice cream — it’s like a mini science experiment with delicious results!
Step 4: Add Whipped Cream
Top your float with a fluffy swirl of whipped cream. This adds extra creaminess and a whimsical, cloud-like appearance.
Step 5: Drizzle and Sprinkle
For that final festive touch:
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.
- Add Halloween-themed sprinkles or candies to make it playful and spooky.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Pumpkin Floats are best enjoyed right away while the soda is still fizzy and the ice cream is perfectly chilled. Hand out fun straws or spoons, and watch the delight on every ghoul’s face!
Pro Tips for the Perfect Pumpkin Float
- Experiment with Soda: Cream soda, ginger ale, or sparkling apple cider all work beautifully. Each gives a slightly different flavor profile.
- Make it Boo-tiful: For a spooky effect, add a small gummy ghost or candy eyeball on top of the whipped cream.
- Homemade Ice Cream Bonus: If you have time, make a simple pumpkin ice cream with pumpkin puree, cream, sugar, and spices — it elevates the float to gourmet level.
- Kid-Friendly Version: Skip alcohol-based pumpkin sodas and stick with naturally sweet sodas for the little monsters.
