Fill a large glass with Dr. Pepper soda and a small amount of ice.
Add one scoop of raspberry gelato to the glass.
Add one scoop of vanilla bean gelato on top.
Gently stir with a straw to combine the flavors and create a slushy texture. Be careful as the soda is very carbonated and will fizz.
Yes, gelato and ice cream are interchangeable in this recipe. Ice cream will create a slightly fluffier float due to higher air content, while gelato offers a denser, creamier texture.
Add the ice cubes before the soda and gelato, and serve immediately. Use chilled glasses to slow melting.
No—assemble floats just before serving. Pre-mixing causes the soda to go flat and the gelato to melt too quickly.
Chocolate, vanilla, or caramel gelato complement Dr. Pepper's vanilla-cola flavor. Avoid flavors with citrus oils as they can curdle gelato.
