Strawberry Ice Cream Soda Recipes

STRAWBERRY-SODA ICE CREAM

• Whisk the condensed milk, half-and-half, red cream soda, cream and strawberries in a medium bowl. Churn in an ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the berries into the container of a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Pour into a large bowl, and set aside.
• Heat 1 1/4 cups of the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble at the edge of the pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, remaining 1/4 cup cream, and corn syrup. Gradually pour the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Strain custard into the berry puree through a sieve, mix, and refrigerate until chilled.
• Fill an ice cream maker with the mixture, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM SODAS

Steps:

• In each glass combine 1/4 cup each of the milk and strawberry syrup.
• Put 2 or 3 scoops of the ice cream into each glass and fill the glasses with the club soda or seltzer.
• Divide the remaining syrup among the sodas and garnish each soda with a strawberry.
• In the food processor or in a blender in batches puree the strawberries, transfer the puree to a stainless steel or enameled saucepan, and stir in the sugar and water.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, and simmer it for 1 minute.
• Force the mixture through a fine sieve set over a bowl and chill the syrup, covered, for at least 3 hours.

ICE CREAM SODAS

Steps:

• Pour 3 tablespoons of Raspberry or Chocolate Syrup or 1 teaspoon vanilla plus 3 tablespoons heavy cream in a tall ice cream soda glass. Whisk with a fork, then slowly, while still whisking, add the club soda until the glass is three-quarters full. Add 2 scoops of ice cream, add soda to the top of the glass, and serve with a spoon and a straw.
• Combine the cocoa, salt, sugar and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the coffee granules, and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the syrup into a bowl and add the vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon in a container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Strain the syrup into a pitcher, pushing down on the berries to extract all the liquid.

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM SODA

Steps:

• Sweeten crushed strawberries to taste with sugar (I place strawberries with sugar in blender or processor& pulse a couple of times).
• Place puree in tall glass; stir in cream and club soda.
• Add scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• If desired, garnish with fan cut whole strawberry or sprig of fresh mint.
• I have used turbinado sugar for a different taste; also can use half& half in place of cream for a thinner, less rich soda.
• Other berries would work well.

STRAWBERRY CREAM PUNCH
