You can also try our cold press watermelon floats too. They’re made with watermelon juice and vanilla ice cream.
Coffee Float Ingredients
For these sweet treats you’ll need two ingredients:
Chocolate Ice Cream – You can use any flavor of ice cream that you like. We chose chocolate for this recipe.
Cold Brew Coffee – Make your own cold brew or buy premade which you can find at the grocery store.
Sparkling Water – We use a dash of water to add some bubbles to the float.
How to Make Easy Cold Brew Coffee
This coffee dessert is so good and uses only 3 ingredients!

Next, pour cold brew coffee over the ice cream.
Add a dash of club soda to the mixture to give it a tiny fizz.
How to Make a Chocolate Rim
To make the chocolate rim, melt milk chocolate morsels and then dipped the rim of each glass into the melted chocolate.
Then place them in the freezer and let the chocolate harden and the glass got extra cold for the coffee floats.
