Candy Corn Floats

posted by December/Stacia at 5:49 AM

**Adapted from Pillsbury's "Halloween recipes"**

1 gallon softened vanilla ice cream
1 can frozen concentrated orange juice, thawed
3/4 cup water
1/2 tsp vanilla
red and yellow food coloring--to make orange, y'see (optional)
2-liter bottle ginger ale
whipped cream
lemon zest, cocoa powder, or candy corn


In a large bowl mix the softened ice cream, OJ concentrate, water, vanilla, and food coloring (if using).

For each serving, scoop heaping 1/2 cup or so of ice cream mixture into a glass. Pour about 1 cup ginger ale over each.

Heap whipped cream on top, if using, and sprinkle with cocoa powder, lemon zest, or candy corn to decorate. Serve with black straws (available at most party supply stores).


If you like, you can add one or two shots' worth of ice-cold mandarin, vanilla, or plain vodka. Or you can turn them into frozen fuzzy navel floats by adding peach schnapps.

I have a sugar buzz just reading the recipe.

Thanks!

Lol Jaye, yes, but the ginger ale and vodka if you use it does cut the sweetness a bit--and if you're leaving the vodka out for the kids they'll love it anyway.

Showed the recipe to my 5 year old and now we are planning to make them for our before trick-or-treating drink. We always have Gooey Pumpkin Cake before we go and needed a themed drink too!

Very interesting! I've run across and blogged about several candy corn recipes so I've added this one too.
