Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) coca-cola (regular or cherry coke for a twist)
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup (120 ml) whipped cream
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
- 1 tsp chocolate syrup or caramel drizzle (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 maraschino cherry (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Chill a tall glass in the freezer to create a frosty serving vessel that will enhance the drink’s cool appeal.
- Cream Preparation: Whip cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form, generating a luxurious foundation for the beverage.
- Ice Cream Layer: Gently scoop vanilla ice cream into the chilled glass, allowing it to settle smoothly against the glass walls.
- Soda Infusion: Carefully tilt the glass and pour Coca-Cola along the interior, creating a mesmerizing cascade that minimizes foam formation.
- Mixing Dynamics: Observe the delightful interaction between carbonated soda and creamy ice cream, which generates an effervescent and textured mixture.
- Finishing Touches: Top the drink with a billowy whipped cream layer, using a piping bag for an elegant presentation, then artfully drizzle chocolate syrup or caramel in a graceful zigzag pattern.
- Garnish and Serve: Crown with a vibrant maraschino cherry and immediately present with a long-handled spoon and wide straw to fully appreciate the layered textures and flavors.
Notes
- Chill Glass Strategically: Use freezer for 5-10 minutes to create perfect frosty surface that keeps drink cold and enhances overall presentation.
- Whip Cream Precisely: Beat cream until soft peaks form without overwhipping, maintaining light and airy texture that complements Coca-Cola’s carbonation.
- Pour Coca-Cola Carefully: Tilt glass and stream soda slowly along interior edge to reduce excessive foam and preserve delicate drink structure.
- Garnish Thoughtfully: Select high-quality maraschino cherry and chocolate/caramel drizzle that elevates visual appeal and adds complementary flavor layers.
