Steps
Method 1 of 4: Make the Coke Float Following the Classic Recipe
Step 1. Fill a glass 3/4 full with Coke
Pour the drink slowly to prevent the foam from overflowing. It is best to place the glass on a plate because the effervescent reaction could create a lot of foam.
- Coke should be cold.
- You can also chill the glass by placing it in the freezer for about 10 minutes, before you start making the Coca Cola float.
- It is best to add the ice cream when the Coke is already in the glass because less foam will form. If you want to unleash a more dramatic effect, put the ice cream in the glass and then add the Coca Cola.
Step 2. Add the ice cream
Very slowly drop a scoop of ice cream into each glass. If space allows and you prefer to use more ice cream, you can add a second scoop.
- To get the best possible result, it is important that the ice cream is very cold. If you are having a hard time portioning it because it is too hard, you can let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes.
- If the ice cream sticks to the ice cream portioner, peel it off with the help of a spoon and let it slowly fall into the glass.
Step 3. Fill the glass
Add some more Coke directly to the ice cream. It will turn into foam. Keep pouring until the glass is full.
- Tilt the glass slightly and pour the Coke slowly to contain the foam.
- The level of Coca Cola must slightly exceed that of ice cream.
Step 4. Stir (optional)
Wait 5-10 minutes so that the ice cream has time to melt slightly. Don't wait too long before eating the Coke float, otherwise it won't be cold enough.
Stir until the Coke float has a similar consistency to that of milkshake or melted ice cream. If you wish, you can add more Coke or other ice cream, respectively, to dilute or thicken your dessert
Step 5. Serve the Coke float
Add a long spoon and a colored straw. Enjoy the Coca Cola float slowly, starting with the ice-cold foam on the surface. Each spoonful must include both ice cream and Coca Cola. Finally, use the straw to sip the creamy portion left at the bottom of the glass.
Method 2 of 4: Make a Sweet-Salty Coke Float
Step 1. Cook the bacon
That's right, bacon! Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 175 ° C for about 10 minutes or until crisp. Use 30 g of thinly sliced bacon.
- If you prefer, you can cook the bacon in a pan.
- You can prepare this fun recipe for a party with friends.
Step 2. Combine the bacon with a quart of cream
When the bacon is cooked, drain most of the fat, transfer it to a medium-sized bowl and add the cream. Seal the container and refrigerate it overnight.
Step 3. Prepare the sweet ingredients
In another bowl, combine 6 egg yolks with 225 g of sugar (you can use honey if you prefer), a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the ingredients to mix them.
For a more intense vanilla flavor, add 2 teaspoons of extract
Step 4. Combine the sweet and savory ingredients
Remove the cream and bacon tureen from the refrigerator and heat it on the stove until soft. Gradually add the egg yolk mixture.
- Do not pour the egg yolk mixture into the pot all at once. Incorporate it little by little, stirring, to avoid shredding the eggs.
- Stir slowly until the mixture is the same consistency as the custard.
Step 5. Let the mixture cool
Remove the pot from the heat and filter the cream. Let it cool in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
Step 6. Make the ice cream
Pour the cream into the ice cream maker and follow the instructions in the instruction manual to prepare the ice cream.
- When the ice cream has reached the correct consistency, place it in the freezer so that it hardens.
- For the best possible result, let the ice cream harden in the freezer overnight.
Step 7. Fill a glass 3/4 full with Coke
Pour the drink slowly to prevent the foam from overflowing. It is best to place the glass on a plate because the effervescent reaction could create a lot of foam.

- To get the best possible result, it is important that the ice cream is very cold. If you have a hard time portioning it because it's too hard, you can let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes.
- If the ice cream sticks to the ice cream portioner, peel it off with the help of a spoon and let it slowly fall into the glass.
Step 9. Fill the glass
Add a small amount of Coke directly to the ice cream. It will turn into foam. Keep pouring until you have filled the glass.
- Tilt the glass a little and pour the Coke slowly if you want to limit the amount of foam. If, on the other hand, you want a more dramatic effect, put the ice cream in the glass and then add the Coca Cola by pouring it quickly.
- The level of Coca Cola must slightly exceed that of ice cream.
Step 10. Stir (optional)

Method 3 of 4: Make a Coke Float in Cocktail Version
Step 1. Take a tall glass and fill it with ice cubes
You can also chill the glass by placing it in the freezer for about 10 minutes, before you start making the Coca Cola float. When the Coca Cola and the whipped cream are mixed, an effervescent reaction will be triggered and foam will form, as in the traditional version of the Coca Cola float.

Step 2. Add the cream
Pour 2 tablespoons of cream, 45 ml of cream vodka and a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the glass filled with ice. Add one ingredient at a time slowly.

- You can increase or decrease the alcohol level of the cocktail by increasing or decreasing the amount of vodka.
Step 3. Add the Coke
Slowly pour it into the glass. Some foam will form. Mix the ingredients of the cocktail well.
- You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make the drink creamier.
- If you want more foam, put a scoop of ice cream in the glass before adding the Coke.
Step 4. Enjoy the cocktail
Serve it with a colored straw and mix it frequently to prevent the ingredients from separating. Always drink responsibly.
Method 4 of 4: Variations and Extra Ingredients
Step 1. Try varying the taste of the ice cream
The classic recipe contemplates vanilla ice cream, but that doesn't mean you can't try replacing it with one of your favorite flavors.
You can give free rein to your creativity and use 2 or 3 scoops of ice cream of different flavors
Step 2. Use a different fizzy drink
You can use soda, orange soda, or a fizzy fruit drink, such as strawberry or lime flavored. Anglo-Saxons also like to use root beer.
- If you want to avoid sugary drinks, you can use flavored carbonated water.
- If you use a fizzy fruit drink, you can combine it with an ice cream or sorbet of the same flavor.
Step 3. Decorate the Coca Cola float
For example, you could garnish it with whipped cream, a candied cherry, and cinnamon.
Advice
- Organize a challenge with friends. Whoever prepares the best and most imaginative affogato gelato will be the winner.
- Put the Coca Cola in the glass first and then the ice cream if you don't want too much foam. Instead, if you prefer a more dramatic effect, put the ice cream in the glass before adding the Coke.
