CHOCOLATE MALTED CHERRY FLOAT

VERY BERRY ICE CREAM FLOATS

Steps:

• For each float, place 2 scoops of Ice Cream into a float glass. Top with the desired amount of soda. Garnish each with whipped cream and a cherry. Serve immediately.
• Heat the heavy cream and half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until bubbles form around the edges, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Meanwhile, beat the sugar, honey and egg yolks in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until pale yellow. While whisking, gradually add a little of the hot cream mixture to the egg mixture until combined. Gradually add the remaining cream until all is incorporated, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir in the freeze-dried strawberry powder. Cook, whisking constantly, over medium heat until the mixture is thickened and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in a few drops of red food coloring, if desired. Cool completely over an ice water bath, then process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, 3 to 4 hours.

CHOCO CHERRY-STOUT ICE CREAM FLOAT

Steps:

• Swirl the chocolate syrup around in a glass all fancy-like. Place the ice cream on the bottom and pour the cold stout slowly into the glass. Top with whipped cream, crushed chocolate candies and Jacked Cherries if using. Serve with a straw, a long spoon and a shot of whisky, if desired.
• Bring the whisky and sugar to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the cherries in a mason jar and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY ICE CREAM FLOAT

Steps:

• Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat; when it comes just to a simmer, pour it over the chocolate. Let sit undisturbed for 1 minute, then add the salt and whisk the chocolate and cream together until smooth.
• Scoop 2 large or 3 medium scoops of ice cream into each of four pint glasses. Drizzle each glass with 2 spoonfuls of the chocolate sauce. Top off each float with cherry beer. Add some brandied cherries and a drizzle of the cherry syrup if desired. Serve.
