    Neapolitan Ice Cream Soda

    June 20, 2017 by Anna Leave a Comment

    Ice Cream Sodas and soda fountains were what Frappuccinos and Starbucks are today. Re-create the nostalgia and make your own Neapolitan Ice Cream Soda.Ice Cream Soda...an old-fashioned treat served at soda fountains in the early 20th century. Something we may think of as quaint. But, you could say that an ice cream soda was the precursor to Starbucks' Unicorn Frappuccino. Both are yummy, sweet, creamy confections that are tasty, refreshing, and FUN! Our coffee shops today are what soda fountains were back in the day; places where friends gathered to enjoy a treat, chat and hang-out.

    Well, my Gr8 Friends, now you can treat your friends and family at home to this ice cream soda confection. It's very easy and there aren't really any "measurements"...if you like lots of chocolate, add more chocolate, if you want less chocolate and more strawberries, add more strawberries. The proportions in the recipe are estimates.

    It's also fun to change up the flavors. You can use any flavor ice cream; different syrups (how about a chocolate and salted caramel combo?!); and different fruits. Or leave out the fruit! It's a blank canvas, have fun and enjoy!

    And if you want to experience and Ice Cream Soda at a real old-time soda fountain, here is an article about the Best Soda Fountains in the U.S.

    • Stir until well combined.

    • Serve with a long spoon and a straw and slurp it down!
