LUXURIOUS VANILLA BEAN RUSSIAN CREAM FLOAT 🍨✨
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups club soda or sparkling water
- Fresh berries (like raspberries or blueberries) for garnish
- Mint leaves for garnish
Directions:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and sour cream. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to whip the mixture until it starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes. You want it to reach soft peaks, so be careful not to overwhip.
- Gradually add in the sugar while continuing to mix. After the sugar is incorporated, add the scraped vanilla bean seeds and pure vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
- Transfer the creamy mixture to the serving glasses, filling them about halfway. Then, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
- Once chilled, carefully pour club soda or sparkling water into each glass, filling the glass almost to the top. The bubbles will give a delightful fizz to your float.
- To finish, top off your luxurious float with fresh berries and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, fizzy delight!
