The recipe for this caramel apple cream float came to be somewhere between the crisp fall air and a September Heatwave this idea came to me. I am dreaming of warm cider, but no way dare to drink that when the real feel is forecast to be 100+ degrees. Yuck. So if you too are salivating just thinking about apple flavored drinks, but feel like it's just too soon for the warm, cozy fall sips you have to try this!!!
I grew up drinking floats..Root beer or Coca Cola with vanilla bean ice cream thanks to my Pop who introduced them to his grandchildren because of his own fond childhood memories drinking them. This Caramel Apple Ice Cream Float is the best Fall twist on the usual float and a perfect treat for a warm autumn Day! Enjoy!
