Coke Float Ice Cream Recipe

There are certain memories as a kid that you just never forget, especially growing up in a small town. I remember going to see my grandparents, and when my granddaddy got home from running his sawmill, he would take me to our small hometown square to stop by the little local pharmacy to get a Coke Float. To this day, I still remember him sitting there, letting me talk endlessly about all the things running around in my head while he just listened. Fast forward to today, the pharmacy is long gone, but the memories have lasted. Although my girls have had Coke floats a few times, they just don’t get super excited about them. But when I decided to try and make Coke Float ice cream – let’s just say that the first batch disappeared even faster than most store bought ice cream. Want to share it with your family? You’re in luck! That’s what I’m sharing today – the recipe for Coke Float Ice Cream. coke float ice cream recipecoke float ice cream recipe
