  1. Wonderful. And it is an ice cream soda. An egg cream is just a drink- no ice cream.
     
  2. I worked in 4 different Ice Cream "parlors" growing up, and I can say, without a doubt - - this is not an ice-cream soda. Never use MILK. It NEEDS to be CREAM ~ Cream, club soda, (seltzer), syrup flavor of choice and ice cream. I don't know what your recipe would be called!?
     
  3. This is not an Ice Cream Soda. It's more of an Egg Cream with Ice Cream. Ice Cream Soda: Chocolate Syrup Seltzer Ice Cream Whipped Cream Egg Cream: Chocolate Syrup (traditionally Fox's U-bet) Seltzer (Not club soda) Milk
     
  4. Speaking as an old Howard Johnson hand, this is how we made ice cream sodas. No measuring necessary ~ soda glasses had marking on them. First squirt was the cream, then syrup. Push the seltzer back to get a strong stream of soda to mix the cream and syrup. Put some seltzer into the glass, add the scoop of ice cream and add more seltzer to fill. <br/><br/>It's been probably 45 years and I could still go behind the soda fountain and make these treats. From my years living in NYC, an egg cream is just chocolate syrup and seltzer. I liked mine with ice.
     
  5. It is NOT an Ice cream soda. Adding milk turns it into an egg cream with ice cream. To avoid the silly repetitious sound of that coining the term

  1. Yummy! this was the first ice cream soda my husband has had and it has been so loooong since I have had a soda. Quick and easy. Topped ours with Cool Whip instead of whipped cream. Thanks KITTENCAL. Bullwinkle.
