Rose and Raspberry Float

Rose and Raspberry Float with rose lemonade Summer, Summer, Summer, wherefore art thou… Fall? Really? It’s Labor Day weekend already? But it’s not here just yet, so I’m going to squeak in a few more truly Summer recipes, like this Rose and Raspberry Float complete with fresh raspberries and a gorgeous pink color. Added bonus, it looks super fancy and elegant, but all you need is a blender and no one will ever know the ice cream is only sorta homemade. Can you just buy raspberry ice cream pre-made for this Rose and Raspberry Float? Maybe. I set out to buy some and discovered three and a half stores later that I was making it myself… and way too late in the game to start from scratch. But it was a good lesson in impressing your guests with ease. Start with a really good vanilla and add your own special twist, and voila! homemade ice cream. Go nuts with wacky flavors, or pick something that will pair with a special soda like my Rose and Raspberry Float.

Ingredients
  1. Fentiman’s Rosewater lemonade* (4-6 bottles for the whole quart)
Sorta Homemade Raspberry Ice Cream
  1. 1 quart really good vanilla ice cream
  2. 8 ounces quick frozen raspberries
Instructions
  1. About 30 minutes before you’re ready to make the ice cream, put the fresh raspberries in the freezer. This will help them stay a little more intact when you blend them into the vanilla.
  2. Let vanilla ice cream sit out at room temperature for a couple of minutes, then squeeze or scoop it out into a blender or food processor being careful to preserve the container. Rose & Raspberry Float vanilla ice cream in the blender
  3. Blend until smooth.
  4. Add in the fruit and blend or process just until incorporated. Rose & Raspberry Float add frozen raspberriesSpoon back into the container. Rose & Raspberry Float homemade raspberry icecream
  5. Refreeze until solid. This will take a couple of hours. Rose & Raspberry Float raspberry ice cream
  6. When ready to make your floats, scoop the ice cream into wine glasses for extra drama.
  7. Top with the Fentiman's Rose Lemonade. Rose & Raspberry Float rose lemonade
  8. Serve with a straw and garnish with edible rose petals if you like. Rose & Raspberry Float and pink rose
Notes
  1. *Can’t find Fentiman’s soda? Just use a sparkling pink lemonade (like Lorina brand) and rosewater to taste - add the rose water a little at a time and make the soda, then add the ice cream.
  2. Also, if you’re trying to go easy on the fat, this works well with raspberry sorbet. It’s a whole different dessert that way.

  2. Seriously, this does sound AMAZING! I need to get my hands on some of that rose lemonade. Great idea for the ice cream, as well. I know this is a tasty combo, because I sometimes make raspberry rosewater meringues that the whole family devours. Added to my “TRY SOONER THAN LATER” list.
