Snow White (ice cream float)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Snow White is a dessert that consists of 7 Up and vanilla ice cream. It is usually made by scooping ice cream into a glass or mug, and then pouring in 7-Up. The combination of the two ingredients generates a frothy foam, which often overflows out of the container.

Floats are usually eaten with a spoon. A popular technique is to take some ice cream in the spoon, dip it in the soft drink, and eat it. When all of the solid ice cream is eaten, the remaining mixture of soft drink and melted ice cream can be drunk either with or without a straw. Another method is to mix the ice cream and soft drink together, then drink the concoction after the ice cream has melted.

The origins of this dessert is unknown, but found in some Asian eateries.
