Root beer floats – move aside! These Strawberry Cream Floats are sweet and creamy and irresistible and perfect for a warm day.
If you are a strawberry lover, you also need to try this Strawberry Bread or this Strawberry Cobbler with Cream Cheese.
I think these pretty pink Strawberry Cream Floats are a guaranteed way to bring a smile to anyone’s face!
I’ve never been a huge root beer float fan, but I can totally get behind these beauties. You start by making a simple strawberry syrup (made from real strawberries!) Add some lemon-lime soda and a few scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream. And you can’t forget the whipped cream to top the whole thing off!!
I was actually surprised by how much I loved these Strawberry Cream Floats. I’m pretty sure they will become a staple around here all spring and summer long!
