A kid-friendly recipe that's fun for everyone! This ice cream soda is red, white and blue - perfect for the 4th of July! And it has a little fireworks action from a sprinkle of Pop Rocks!
Open one package of Pop Rocks and pour them over the softened vanilla ice cream.
Stir them together just until the Pop Rocks leave streaks of blue through the ice cream. You want the streaks to be bright and visible.
Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap, pressing it to the surface of the ice cream and place it in the freezer. Freeze the ice cream for 1-2 hours until it has firmed up.
Assemble the sodas:
Divide the cherry sodas between the four chilled glasses, half a bottle into each glass.
Use a ¼-cup scoop and gently place two scoops of the Pop Rocks ice cream into each glass.
Open the second envelope of Pop Rocks and sprinkle them over the top of the ice cream sodas - and watch them pop!
Place straws into each glass and serve them immediately, along with a spoon for each. Makes 4 servings.
Notes
To get the blue for your red, white, and blue drink look for the Tropical Fruit Punch flavor of Pop Rocks.
To keep the sodas looking, tasting, and popping their best, serve them immediately after assembling.
