Ice cream float recipe with fresh fruit

Whether for a delicious summertime treat or as fun diy party food ice cream floats are always so good! But even better when made with fresh fruit and sparkling water!

With naturally flavored sparkling water as a soda replacement and fresh strawberry puree this updated summertime classic is purely delicious and super fizzy!

A float glass with pink layers of fresh strawberry puree, vanilla ice cream, and fizzy strawberry kiwi soda with fresh kiwi and strawberries as garnish.

I’m all about fun floats and mixing it up with lots of unexpected flavors and options. This Strawberry Kiwi Ice Cream version uses a fresh strawberry juice, vanilla ice cream and Strawberry Kiwi Sparkling Ice. But you can use any fruit puree or juice, ice cream, sorbet or gelato and whichever Sparkling Ice you desire.

Any flavor would go great in a spin off of this recipe. Use fresh blackberry sauce and Black Raspberry Sparkling Ice. Or even watermelon juice with strawberry ice cream and Strawberry Watermelon Sparkling Ice.

Look beyond the typical soda and ice cream, the options are endless!

Ingredients

  • Strawberry puree – made from strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice and water.
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Strawberry Kiwi Sparkling Ice
  • Fresh kiwi  and strawberries, sliced for garnish

Step by step instructions

  1. Make a homemade strawberry puree by warming clean, hulled strawberries with sugar, a little water and a splash of lemon juice. Then puree while still slightly warm and strain to remove seeds. Store refrigerated until ready to use (up to 4 days in advance).
  2. When you’d like a fresh strawberry float simply place a layer of the fruit puree in the bottom of a tall glass.
  3. Top with a couple couple scoops of good quality ice cream.

Serving size

This fresh strawberry float recipe is for a single serving. But the serving size can easily be adjusted in the recipe below.

Serving a crowd? Make it a strawberry punch by pouring 4 cups of fresh strawberry puree into a large punch bowl with ½ gallon vanilla ice cream and 4 bottles of Strawberry Kiwi Sparkling Ice. Use frozen kiwi slices and strawberries to keep the punch cool and signal what’s inside.

    This sparkling ice water is a great replacement for soda. During the Summer the fruits are so sweet. There is no need to have extra sugar
