Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Chocolate syrup (low sugar or sugar-free, if desired)
• 1.5 cups Seltzer water (chilled)
• 1 scoop Low-fat or light vanilla ice cream
• 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (light, optional)
• 1 teaspoon Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
• 1 piece Maraschino cherry (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients and ensure the seltzer water is well-chilled.

Step 2

In a tall glass, add the chocolate syrup.

Step 3

Slowly pour in about 1/2 cup of seltzer water and gently stir with a spoon to combine the syrup with the sparkling water until uniform.

Step 4

Carefully add the remaining seltzer water, tilting the glass slightly to preserve the carbonation while avoiding spills.

Step 5

Place a scoop of low-fat or light vanilla ice cream gently into the glass. The soda will foam up, creating a frothy layer.

Step 6

If desired, top the float with a dollop of light whipped cream.

Step 7

Garnish with chocolate shavings and a maraschino cherry for an added touch of nostalgia.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a long spoon and a straw for the true fountain experience.
