    I don't know about you, but a highlight of my day is my morning cup of coffee. I don't start my day with it like most people. Instead, I first have warm water with lemon and then a smoothie.

    Then, around mid-morning, I have a cup of cold brewed coffee with cinnamon, sweetener, and unsweetened almond or soy milk. I don't really need coffee as a pick-me-up, it's more of a treat.

    This vegan coffee ice cream float just takes that treat up a notch. I could literally have one of these every day they are so good!

    Creamy coffee ice cream in cold brew coffee with crunchy chocolate-covered coffee beans, yes, please! And if all the ice cream melts, it's fun to drink it all up.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    What soda is best for an ice cream float?

    Any bubbly soda works in an ice cream float. To switch things up, I used cold brew coffee in this vegan ice cream float. You could also use a coffee soda recipe.

    Does coffee ice cream taste good?

    The coffee ice cream recipe used in this ice cream float is one of my favorite ice cream recipes that I've made so far.

    **Important! If you are gluten free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole bean organic coffee, and grind it myself. I learned that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned to try organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues. So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life.
