Classic Ice Cream Floats | One Pot Chef

[@SoulshineWavy]

This man is so adorable and nice I have to subscribe.

[@thehauntedmansionfan]

Here in the U.S. you can find many diners, some of them 1950's themed, that still have floats on the menu. Some ice cream shops have them as well.

[@easybackyardbbq]

I love coke floats. Simple but a great treat. Drink one of those after a slab of ribs and potato salad

[@realtalk8813]

That sounds good 🙂👍

[@debrahancock7986]

A&W Root Beer Ice Cream Soda Floats, Cant Beat It !!! Even the Diet A & W Flat is Great if You want to Cut Down on Sugar, Really Can't tell the Difference with the Ice Cream !

[@glassanddiaphane]

I love this, when I was a kid I used to have Ice cream floats too. The combination was different though: lime-lemon soda (sprite) and vanilla ice cream.

[@kathrynstone8940]

Haven't had one of these for more than 50 years. You have tempted me now. I used to like lime ones, my sister preferred cherry soda. I've really got the urge to rekindle memories of childhood treats now so will make my old favorite and really fancy trying the root beer version. Have never tried that and I love root beer. Yum.

[@orthohawk1026]

Oh, man! This looks so good I'm gonna run right to the store for some ice cream and a bottle of root beer!

[@OnePotChefShow]

You can use any soft drink / soda you like. Orange sounds delicious ;)

[@alicelsong]

i really love your personality and your voice! and i definitely miss having ice cream floats! cream soda never can completely replace it

[@elizabethshaw734]

My dad used to love root beer floats and we made them quite often throughout our lives together. He also liked ice cream sodas which is flavored syrup a couple scoops of ice cream and seltzer water and you mix the seltzer water with the syrup a little bit of it and then put in the ice cream and then top it off with seltzer water and it's all bubbly on top it's very good.

[@TheBearSpiceKitchen]

Classic Aussie in our house was Vanilla Icecream with Ecks Lemonade. My Mother called them "Ice-cream Sundaes" In particular, I remember having one while watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on telly. Thanks for the memory.

[@birdzene9925]

we had them as kids, when we went to visit our relatives in buffalo, during the summer, thanks, for reminding me, they are great

[@itssssimplyari_]

I'm eating a ice cream float while watching this

[@rileyclark1645]

No 1 gives 2 fucks

[@darkslayer3155]

Same :3

[@bigd6138]

Lonely.Potato each time I watch food videos I need to eat something.

[@ortegag7423]

Lonely.Potato ok

[@BigGaz1953]

Brought back great memories.Nearly every Coles store had a cafe bar and ice-cream sodas were a great treat on a Saturday morning shopping day. The most popular at our store was lime ice-cream sodas (they were called sodas at that store). Made with the syrup pump, soda gun and vanilla ice-cream scooped from the bin at the counter. mmmmmmm We still make these at our house. Positively love them.

[@shonteshields7758]

It is so easy,you can use a any flavor kind of sodas for a ice cream float

[@jema2609]

Oh, that's right! You're gearing up for summer now! Whereas I'm happy to see the backside of summer. Maybe now I can walk outside and NOT look like I just took a shower when I get home! Of course, this is Florida, so the heat is a bit persistent. Love the floats, David!

[@embrady9736]

You are adorable!!! I would buy your book, if you had one and I really like your delivery and tag line too!!!

[@OnePotChefShow]

Em Brady Thanks! Check out the links in the video description (under the video) to check out my range of books ;)

[@idunnoproductionzz]

There is an old chain of drive ins in the New Jersey area of the United States (Between New York and Washington D.C, basically.) Where they still sell these. Most of the time, here in the States, if you have ice cream and soda on hand you make an Root Beer Float (Sometimes they are called Ice Cream floats.) But yeah, I make these every now and then. I love how foamy the ice cream makes the soda.

[@Simo606]

I used to have these as a kid at cafes all the time. Haven't seen them anywhere for agesssss

[@neonMETEOR]

You are absolutely brilliant! I'm super addicted to your videos and I can't stop watching them. You are so talented and you have the best personality and enthusiasm! So inspiring:) I'm hungry now I'm writing down all these recipes

[@OnePotChefShow]

My partner never goes hungry ;)

[@weezie445]

We used to make these when we were young. Ice cream and root beer....yum!

[@blitzballer]

I used to have these a lot when I was little too! I never see them around the UK much anymore~ Thanks for the memories David!

[@GoliathAngelus]

You are right about it. We don t see it much or don t see it at all. In my family we make it sometimes on holidays with vanila icecream and 7up. We call it a Snow white

[@Wolvyrine]

Not sure about the rest of the country, but in the midwest it was RootBeer floats everywhere when I was a kid. I also like vanilla cream soda (never cared for the red stuff myself). My other two favorites are Dr.Pepper with chocolate ice cream and Grapefruit soda with orange sherbert.

[@8927653]

My fav too! Try filling your glass halfway with soda first, then add your ice cream..top off with soda. You get the best of both worlds !

[@MsYumpickles]

My grandma used to make floats for us using red pop (strawberry flavored soda). Even so so many years later, a red pop float is a comforting treat.

[@vookiemookie]

you sound so happy when you're eating them! haha so adorable!

[@snozrak]

Hi David, I always loved these in lime flavor,every time I used to get the craving for one I knew I was pregnant again!! Good thing I am now nearly 70,I can drink these without the added bonus of pregnancy!!!

[@TheSanguineVixen]

Oh ho! David you legend, I had these growing up too and really miss them! These beauties should definitely be brought back in fashion! Love them so much, thank you for the upload and the very happy childhood memories

[@Themanoflife]

100 percent agree

[@RichardMedhurst]

We have this in England too but we just use Sprite or lemon soda with the vanilla ice cream :)

[@AP-su9oc]

I got a new job at an ice cream place so I have to watch you as homework for my job

[@Ucchiyama]

I had these a while back but lemonade sprite flavor was delicious and the best thing you could have on a hot summers day

[@hana198624]

My mum used to make these for me when I was wee using Irn Bru and I hated it! I only ever ate the foam, but it was a good trip down memory lane.

[@dewanmdurnto3592]

Always know the chef is great

[@DilPickles_00]

I know this video is from 10 years ago but honestly same. I miss Soda floats. They were really popular BEFORE my time and there were still diners in the US that would serve them. I havent had one in so long.

[@benjaminrebeiz396]

i remember doing this in the summer.IT.WAS.AWESOME

[@untypicalemu5590]

My childhood I just had one now xD it reminded me of 2009 eating it at my grandmothers when I was young. we just get ice cream,soda, and a plain cup that’s how we make it :)

[@LegoLover33]

Mmm, that sounds refreshingly cool!

[@o00thunderhawk00o]

somtimes i just blend together ice, milk, rootbeer and vanilla extract. its very good. it works good with cola as well.

[@julierochforte7174]

My son James loves these.

[@TheJermich]

I love these!!! We have had this in South Africa since i was little and i miss it toooo!! Been having this since i was 5...... and im almost 30 now and love them still!! :o) Thanks for sharing!!

[@jasonward3175]

Mentioned this to my kids few years back they just stared at me with raised eyebrows I said ok fine I'll make you one weeks later they both addicted to them great video mate once tried forever loved

[@irenenergy]

this brings back my childhood memories too! my mum used to make these for us

[@nitrohite]

I've NEVER seen this! I'm doing this tonight, gotta try it.

[@alialjasim1149]

In the US, at least northern regions, we drink Root Beer floats. Coke floats are a "exotic" treat (I think Southern states have them a lot) and older diners still serve fruity (Creaming soda) floats. My grandma loved Cherry floats. Brings back nostalgic memories for sure! Great video! ^_^

[@AW350M3N3551]

Hi OnePotChef! Loving the recipes! Please keep them coming..... I actually admire you for making this video! Ever since I was 3, I've made Home made Ice Cream Floats! I agree with you... They need to come back and become popular again!

[@mokhot]

Shockingly pink ! Yummy

[@marvinabigby6376]

Thanks to you I made an icream coke soda.i cant wait to try the cream soda one ty

[@Thing-jg1lm]

My friend and I love making ice cream floats

[@alessandraysobelleechica9328]

here where i live, mcdonalds sell ice cream floats but it more look like frappucino but with ice cream and soda! it is really popular

[@MrMrsJEMJ]

I love this channel! It's so inspiring! I'm a homemaker and this is the best for our family!

[@EmanMorrison]

this is so cute! On another note, David, I made an attempt to make mac n cheese yesterday, I used actual shredded cheddar cheese for the sauce, and it turned out grainy and awkward! it was more like tiny curdles in the finishing dish, i googled the issue and it turned out that i needed to use manufactured processed cheese, in the US they have something called Valveeta, which we don't have in Australia... was wondering what would a good national substitute be and has this happened to you before?

[@efaifi]

what a nice way to start a weekend

[@OnePotChefShow]

Yes, if you wish ;)

[@joakim3542]

I get this from my grandparents at summer, it's amazing! Btw good video

[@shmwmlam3953]

Hello, I used to watch your videos regularly. I noticed you are missing from YT for sometimes now. Are you alright?

[@MsSpark111]

I loved vanilla ice cream soda.. i too loved having that as a kid... I loved the 7up vanilla flavour! :)

[@RetroPrepper]

We've enjoyed root beer floats in the USA since I was a kid, but it never occurred to me to try any other flavors. (I guess because the root beer floats are SO DELICIOUS!) Raspberry flavor sounds awesome though...I will definitely try that one. It is 1:25am, and I am going to make myself a root beer float RIGHT NOW! Mmmm mmm mmmmmmm!

[@LithiumxLacrymosa]

Oh I had rootbeer floats last year on my last night at college in the US when I was on exchange.. totally makes me miss the place more :(

[@1979timdog]

i share in your love of floats! here in the states there are several places that still sell them, although i'd much rather make my own! much cheaper!!!

[@janiceschwab4321]

We call root beer floats Black Cows. Floats are a favorite summertime treat here in Texas.

[@TaiHusky]

This is such a coincidence. I was thinking of how I made these in summer as a kid and was looking forward to making one when I got home from school. So awesome to find this while drinking mine. I had mine with cola ^_^

[@jodygoodman5450]

Hi chef, Please help. I’m opening a 1950 inspired American diner and I also want to see them come back into fashion. I’ll experiment but wondered can I use cordials with the fizzy soda and icecream. There are many different flavoured cordials to add. Any suggestions?

[@uvindukulathunga3860]

9 years it still isnt back but Im hear bcz I feel like it will start trending in near future

[@Finnbar01]

I used to make them at home myself. Delicious!

[@kiyutski]

same, i remember going to restaurants with my family and it was always a root beer float. The good ol' days

[@mrholm68]

Thanks I'll try one! Hope you enjoyed your float!

[@tillytillytilly999]

looks amazing.. love you onepotchef! xxx

[@ScrapyardApe]

I can't believe I missed this video when it uploaded!! I LOVE me some floats! David, orange soda over vanilla ice cream is amazing.

[@UltimateGrobanite]

This is really making me want a Snow White, which is Sprite/7-up and vanilla ice cream :)

[@wolfie2277]

You deserve a medal! You took what could be a 20 second video into almost 4 minutes! For anyone else, it's just ice cream and coke and another combination of a float.

[@mustaffaal-shybany9787]

Not sure if sarcastic or serious...

[@KawaiiAznPanda7]

These were popular too in the US like.. I don't know 8 years ago?! holy cow! I was in 4th grade and now i'm a Junior in Highschool.. it's been so long! :O

[@luzluna1468]

That looks so yummy and you look like such a nice person. You got a new fan.🤗👏

[@Ironic_Kiwi]

I had these when I was a kid too! We also call them "spiders" and I have no idea why... But they're so good! I make it like once a year lol.

[@GregRetrorian]

people in america use " root beer '' ( soda ) together they call it " root beer floats '' you should check out on buying a soda maker, a friend of mine has one. You get the syrup ex: grape, you fill the thing up with water and it makes the water carbonated. Its quite fun, ahaha

[@ninjadude1021]

You had me at Ice Cream being mixed with the king of all soda... COCA COLA!!!!!

[@CupcakeLoveKisses]

[@MsSpark111]

aww.. i love ur story.. i too use to go grocery shopping with my mom as a kid :) Are you inspired by ur mom? especially when it comes to cooking?

[@Sarahsvintagekitchen]

Ah nostalgia. I remember creaming soda spiders at many a birthday party. There were so many hyperactive children in the 1970's... :P

[@simanba]

Ok Time to go shopping again. have to try it out

[@dalriada842]

This brings back memories for me too. On special occasions at the seaside, it was stepped up a notch, to a knickerbocker glory! :P

[@MegaZsolti]

Am drinking one, right now. The foam was different than I expected to be, but the drink tastes good.

[@zanemccourt8345]

I love ice cream floats.

[@empogirl]

woow this is what i had alot when i was small, but we use no cola, ice cream soda drink and vanilla ice cream omgggggg jummie

[@Vipashayana.]

I tried this and it turned out very tasty, thanks chef! 😊💜

[@Ketutar]

Huh... I have always called those ice cream sodas. Love them!

[@hawj89]

Oh man! i couldn't stop laughing watching this with the caption on! "saliva"!

[@winningwonder1421]

sir which size ice cream scoop is best for milkshakes and ice cream

[@TheRichman3000]

Always wanted to do this i never knew it was so easy thanks =)

[@Draconus33Uxor]

To control some of the foaming, put half the soda in the glass first before the ice cream. Pore the rest in after.

[@OnePotChefShow]

I was talking about here in Australia, they are not as common here as they once were ;)

[@orthohawk1026]

It's the same as in the US, David. They're seen as tres passe!

[@chilliconcarnie1]

in the UK we call these coke floats i love these and a squirt of cream and cherry on top :)

[@julianacardona7469]

I did this just a few months ago it was a rootbeer float yum yum

[@spxmmingisoz781]

I love this thx so much!

[@Angelica-uo6ng]

when i watch this video,i make it,it so delicious

[@846524162]

Great idea, never though of making this. We have here similar thing, it's vanilla ice cream and orange juice, it's called vanilla juice, but I bet yours is better :)

[@aniketsharmamusic692]

In India, it is also known as Shooters because it's special recipe shoots the taste of mouth.

[@GeorgeCorral]

These are very common in the US. I tried to stay away from these because they are so indulgent. But they are oh so good

[@GeorgeCorral]

@@ramenlover1727 yeah they are

[@martinzhang689]

Does it taste good
