This is one of my favorite summer treats! A frosty ice cream soda satisfies on so many levels. With ice cream, rich chocolate flavor, refreshing club soda, and rich and creamy whipped cream, it’s a drink and a dessert in one tall glass! You might not remember the 5 and dime lunch counters and soda fountains of 1950s and 60s, but this was a popular item on the menus. Chocolate syrup, milk, chocolate ice cream, and soda are the main ingredients, with a topping of whipped cream and a cherry or chocolate sprinkles. Delicious!

Recipe Variations

  • Soda: Instead of club soda, use seltzer water, ginger ale, or sparkling mineral water.
  • Ice Cream: Replace all or part of the chocolate ice cream with vanilla, Neapolitan, or cookies and cream ice cream.
  • Strawberry Ice Cream Soda: Swap the chocolate syrup for strawberry syrup and use strawberry or vanilla ice cream.
