This Valentine’s Day, cuddle up with the people you love and enjoy a sweet drink straight from the North Pole. The Elf on the Shelf® Scout Elves love this Valentine’s Day ice cream float, and it is just as easy to make as a classic fizzy float. It is a fun, elf-approved activity that little ones can help with, making it perfect for a cosy family Valentine’s Day at home.

This Valentine’s Day float combines creamy vanilla ice cream with red or pink fizzy drink to create a festive treat that looks magical and tastes delicious.

What You’ll Need:

  • Sundae glass or tall glass
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Red or pink fizzy drink
  • Decorative straw
  • Whipped cream
  • Fruit garnish

Instructions:

  1. SCOOP vanilla ice cream into a sundae glass or tall glass. Leave a little space at the top so the float does not overflow when the fizzy drink is added.
  2. POUR raspberry, cherry or any red or pink fizzy drink of your choice over the ice cream to create a beautifully coloured Valentine’s Day float. Helpful hint: for a deeper colour, use pink or red ice cream alongside the fizzy drink.
  3. GARNISH with whipped cream and add a decorative straw with a Valentine’s Day touch. Fresh fruit such as cherries or strawberries makes a lovely topping too.
  4. BOTTOMS UP and happy Valentine’s Day from the Scout Elves at the North Pole.
