• 450 g sliced ​​bacon
• 2 liters of cola

• Ice

To step

Method 1 of 4: Making a classic Coke Float

1. Fill a glass three-quarters with cola. Place the glass on a saucer so that you can catch the foam from the fizzing that goes over the rim. Slowly pour in the soda to avoid overflowing.
   • To get the best results you should start with chilled soda.
   • You can also cool your glass by putting it in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand.
   • By first pouring in the soda and then adding the ice, a little foam develops. If you want a "float" with more foam, put the ice in the glass first and then the soda.
2. Add the ice. Gently put one scoop of vanilla ice cream in each glass. If there is space and you like a little more ice, you can add an extra scoop.
   • For best results, your ice must be very cold. If it gets so hard that you can't scoop it out, let it soften on the counter for a few minutes.
   • If the ice cream is sticky, use a spoon to put the ice cream from the ice cream scoop into the glass.
3. Top your float. Drizzle a little bit of cola over the ice. This will turn to foam. Keep pouring until your glass is full.
   • Tilt your glass slightly and pour the cola slowly to ensure that less foam develops.
   • Fill your glass until the Coke has reached a level just above that of the ice.
4. Mix everything together (optional). Let your "float" rest for a while. Give it 5-10 minutes for the ice to melt, but don't wait too long or it won't be cold enough.
   • Stir until it has a consistency between that of an "ice cream soup" and a milkshake. Add cola to dilute it or ice to thicken it as desired.
5. Serve. Put a spoon in your glass and top it off with a straw. Eat your "float" slowly, starting with the cold, frozen foam on top, scooping up ice and cola together. Use the straw to gobble up the leftover creamy cola that remains in the glass.

Method 2 of 4: Making a sweet and tasty Coke Float

1. Fry the bacon. Yes, bacon! Place bacon slices in a frying pan and place in a preheated oven (180 degrees Celsius). Let the bacon get crispy (this will take about 10 minutes). Use 450 grams sliced ​​bacon.
   • You can also fry your bacon in a skillet.
   • Try this experimental Coke "float" for a fun new sensation.
2. Add 950 ml cream to the bacon. Once the bacon is cooked, put all the slices in a medium bowl and pour your cream over it. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight. Do not pour all of the shortening over the cream.
3. Mix the sweets. In a medium bowl, put six egg yolks, one cup (240 ml) of sugar (you can also use honey), one teaspoon of salt, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat smooth.
   • If you want a stronger vanilla flavor, add two teaspoons of vanilla extract.
4. Put it all together. Remove your cream and bacon mixture from the refrigerator and heat it in a pan on the stove until the mixture has softened. Add the egg yolk mixture in 240 ml bites.
   • Do not pour the entire egg yolk mixture into the pan at once. Spoon it in cup (240 ml) cup by cup and stir in between. This way the eggs will not curdle.
   • Stir slowly until your mixture has the same consistency as custard.
5. Let it cool down. Remove the pan from the heat and drain the custard mixture. Let it cool on the counter or in the refrigerator until the mixture is at room temperature or colder.
6. Make your ice. Place your custard in your ice cream maker and run it, following the manufacturer's instructions.
   • Once the ice has thickened, let it harden in the freezer.
   • For best results, let your ice cream harden in the freezer overnight.
7. Fill a glass three-quarters with cola. Place the glass on a saucer to catch whatever goes over the edge from the emerging foam. Slowly pour the soda to avoid overflowing.
   • For best results, you should use chilled soda.
   • By first pouring in the soda and then adding the ice, a little foam develops. If you want a "float" with more foam, put the ice in the glass first and then the soda.
   • You can also cool the glass by putting it in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand.
8. Add the ice. Gently put one scoop of vanilla ice cream in each glass. If there is space and you like a little more ice, you can add an extra scoop.
   • For best results, your ice should be very cold. If it gets so hard that you can't take it out, leave it on the counter for a few minutes to soften.
   • If the ice is sticking to your ice cream scoop, use a spoon to push it off into the glass.
9. Give your "float" a topping. Drizzle a little cola over the ice. This will turn to foam. Keep pouring until your glass is full.
   • Tilt your glass slightly and pour the cola slowly to reduce the amount of foam, or put the ice in the glass first and pour in the soda faster for more foam.
   • Fill your glass until the Coke has reached a level just above that of the ice.
10. Mix everything together (optional). Let your "float" rest for a while. Give it 5-10 minutes so that the ice can melt, but don't wait too long or it won't be cold enough.
    • Stir until it has a consistency between that of an "ice cream soup" and a milkshake. Add cola to thin it or ice to thicken it as desired.
11. Serve. Put a spoon in your glass and top it off with a straw. Eat your "float" slowly, starting with the cold, frozen foam on top, scooping up ice and cola together. Use the straw to gobble up the leftover creamy cola that remains in the glass.

Method 3 of 4: Making a Coke Float Cocktail

1. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. If you want, you can cool your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes in advance. As soon as the cola and whipped cream mix, the same reaction takes place as with a traditional ‘float’ with ice and cola, producing foam.
   • This is a fun drink for parties with friends.
   • Don't forget to always drink in moderation!
2. Add the whipped cream. Pour two tablespoons of whipped cream, 45 ml of whipped cream flavored vodka and a quarter of a teaspoon of vanilla extract over the ice cubes. Pour slowly and add one at a time.
   • If you want a "float" with a stronger vanilla flavor, you should use half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
   • Make your float stronger or weaker by adding more or less vodka, respectively.
3. Add the cola. Gently pour the cola over the mixture. This will give a little foam. Stir well.
   • You can also add another scoop of vanilla ice cream to make your float creamier.
   • If you want more foam, put a scoop of ice on top of the ice cubes first and then top with the cola last.
4. Enjoy it! Top it off with a straw and stir frequently to keep everything well mixed. Always drink in moderation.

Method 4 of 4: Experiment with extras and variations

1. Try out different ice cream flavors. Vanilla has been a classic for years, but that doesn't mean you can't try something different. Try your float with ice cream flavors like Rocky Road, cookie dough and whatever else you like!
   • You can be as creative as you want! You can even use more than one flavor for your float.
2. Try out different fresh flavors. Root beer has been a classic taste for a float for years. You can also try fruity fresh flavors such as lime or strawberry.
   • You can make a float with almost any type of carbonated drink. So if you don't want to use soda, you can also use fizzy fruit juice!
   • Try mixing a fruity soda with fruit-infused ice cream or sherbet.
3. Add a topping or decoration! Finish your float with a little whipped cream, a cherry, some ground cinnamon or some icing sugar.

Tips

• Challenge your friends to join a game of "Ultimate float". Combine different flavors of ice cream and soda to make the best ice cream float!
• By first pouring in the soda and then adding the ice, a little foam will develop. If you want a float with more foam, put the ice in the glass first and then the soda.

Warnings

• If you pour the soda into the glass too quickly, the foam will bubble up and overflow, creating a big mess.
