Homemade Chocolate Filled Ice Cream Soda Recipe
Our old fashioned Ice Cream Soda begins with simple quick and easy homemade chocolate recipe and ends with a delightful spoonful in your mouth! Perfect addition to your summer soiree or birthday party.
What is an Ice Cream Soda exactly? Besides a delicious summer treat it’s a simple mixture of ice cream with soda of some sort usually topped with whipped cream and a cherry!
Typically when made with root beer or a cola we call it an ice cream float rather than an ice cream soda. Don’t ask me why, I just follow protocol and enjoy making this ice cream treat for my family!

Ice cream treats are not just for summer! Hubby and I created ourselves a cozy little movie party on the sofa together a while back. We treated ourselves to these Coke floats which are even easier to make if you can believe that.
ICE CREAM PARTY TIPS
Where should we begin. Can you just see a cute little ice cream bar at your next party? The tall soda glasses are all lined up next to a buffet of ice cream toppings and mix-ins! Colorful paper straws and long handled spoons just await your guests excitement!
Fill a small colorful tub with ice and pack in all the topping flavors in those handy bottles from the grocery store. NOTE: I am giving you a super simple recipe to make our Chocolate version but if you need to cheat, I get it!
