Nuka-Cola Float

Ingredients

• 2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 0.75 cup sugar
• salt (Pinch)
• 1 vanilla bean (Split and scraped)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 star anise
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (For each float; the recipe's homemade ice cream may be used)
• Nuka-Cola soda (Prepared soda of choice)

Steps

1. 1

   Combine the heavy cream, half-and-half, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir to combine.

2. 2

   Add the split and scraped vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Bring the mixture to a low boil, stirring frequently so the milk does not stick to the pan.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

4. 4

   Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and allow it to cool. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

5. 5

   Follow the instructions for your ice cream maker to make the ice cream. Transfer the finished ice cream to a freezer-safe container and let it freeze overnight.

6. 6

   Before serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer for 10 minutes to make it easier to scoop.

7. 7

   Chill a tall glass in the freezer for 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream to the cold glass.

9. 9

   Carefully pour the prepared Nuka-Cola soda into the glass. Stir slightly and serve.
