Enjoy a creamy, flavorful chocolate ice cream soda–made with ice cream, syrup and club soda. Great as a beverage, snack or dessert.
Is a Chocolate Ice Cream Soda romantic? It is if you share one with your sweetie using two straws! And for those who grew up eating them, it may also be nostalgic. And for almost everyone, it’s delicious!
I had my first ice cream soda at a genuine ice cream parlor. It was in the small Iowa town of Wilton, where my grandparents were born, then lived in retirement. As a child, my father spent summers there, when his teacher father and mother returned to help out on the family farm.
And I believe that my recipe must have come from there, since it was my father who taught me how to make them.
If you have a hankering for an ice cream parlor treat, nothing beats an ice cream soda. All you need is a straw (or two), a glass, ice cream, soda and syrup, and you’ve got the makings of one of the great ice cream classics. Go with an old standby like the black cow (chocolate syrup, root beer and vanilla ice cream).
What Makes This a Winner
A chocolate ice cream soda is:
Tasty. Cold, sweet, creamy and chocolatey, this drink has over the top flavor! It is best eaten with both a spoon and a straw for two different taste sensations! The straw delivers a slightly creamy, chocolate soda and the spoon gives you a uniquely flavored, light ice cream!
Fun. With great taste and a malt shop vibe, how can you not have fun drinking this!
Lighter. Want a decadent ice cream beverage that won’t break the calorie bank, or leave you stuffed? The club soda portion of this is light and calorie free, so forget the shake or malt and go with a chocolate ice cream soda!
- Chocolate syrup. Hershey’s is a classic or make your own (no corn syrup!)
- Ice Cream. Any decent vanilla ice cream will do!
- Club Soda. My favorite since the minerals add a hint of flavor but you can also use homemade fizzy water like from a SodaStream.
Special ice cream glasses can be fun but are not necessary. In fact, my first choice is usually a 16 ounce glass so I can have a bigger soda!
An insulated ice cream scoop is a nice-to-have. This can make scooping ice cream easier! And once the family hears you are making sodas, you may end up scooping a lot!
