Orasella's Cherry Coke Float

Orasella's Cherry Coke Float

I am in Oregon in a town that has an amazing old school ice cream parlor. You know what I’m talking about… the soda pulls, the round spinny chairs hooked to a high counter, and a wall of glass jars filled with every sort of candy imaginable.

So, you could say, this week’s recipe was inspired by the soda fountains of the past. I mean, how long has it been since you had a float? One taste and you’ll be asking why. I mean, don’t you think it’s due for a comeback?

Orasella's Cherry Coconut Ice Cream Sandwiches

In Seattle, we’ve got July through September to enjoy the beautiful weather before the rain sets in. But, you better believe, Seattleites know how to live up those three months. And, part of basking in the season is cramming in all the summer treats we can handle during those three short months.

This dessert is so simple and, as my daughter would like to remind you, infinitely customizable. These ice cream sandwiches can be rolled in a multitude of toppings, so don’t just limit yourself to coconut flakes.
