Cover Recipe: Berry Float

Friday, June 27, 2014

I am hoping to start a new feature here on bookcooker, partly as an attempt to get out of my blogging rut!  Every month I will make a cover recipe from some food magazine - first up the cover of Martha Stewart Livings June issue  - a very simple berry float.  It feels a bit like cheating to make this, it is nothing much more than berries, vanilla ice cream and soda thrown together - but it has been impact, both visually and in taste.  It is a great easy treat to throw together when you are in the mood for something special and the color scheme obviously works perfect for July 4th or for chearing on Team USA in the World Cup!  Yum!

Berry Float, from Martha Stewart Living June 2014

Ingredients
4 cups of mixed berries - if using strawberries slice - I used raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries
1/2 cup of sugar
vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream
seltzer water

Directions:
  1. It feels silly to write directions for this, but here we go...
  2. Combine the berries and sugar in a medium bowl and stir.
  3. Let sit for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
  4. A sauce will develop from the berries.
  5. To make the float, alternate layers of berries then the frozen yogurt.  Top with seltzer.
  6. Slap on a cute straw and serve.
