Blackberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Soda
One of my favorite summer memories when I was little was going to A&W Restaurant with my dad to get a big ole’ Root Beer Float! There is nothing like a couple of scoops of ice cream in a cup of Root Beer. I can remember sitting on the back of my dad’s truck just slurping away on my Ice Cream Soda thinking it was the best day ever!
Did you know that this awesome summer time treat actually has its own day? That’s right, someone decided that today, June 20th, is National Ice Cream Soda Day. What better way to celebrate Ice Cream Soda Day than to join together with some fellow bloggy’s and throw an Ice Cream Soda Party! Because, let’s be honest who doesn’t like a good Ice Cream Soda? Well, you are in for a treat {no pun intended}. My friend Gina over at Kleinworth & Co is hosting an Ice Cream Soda Recipe Roundup and yours truly {that would be me} is participating with a Blackberry Vanilla Bean {fro-yo} Ice Cream Soda! Here are the other treats! {links below}
Not only is today National Ice Cream Soda Day but it is also my wonderful husbands birthday! I am so blessed to have this amazing man in my life and still can’t believe he chose me!
He is the one who keeps me grounded, makes me laugh, loves me unconditionally, and leads our home with excellence. I look forward to the many more birthdays we get to celebrate together. Happy Birthday babe!
How to Make Blackberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Soda
To get started, mix 3 cups of plain greek yogurt in a bowl with 2/3 cup of honey {or sugar}.
Mix together and then add vanilla bean from 1 vanilla bean stalk. {just slice the vanilla bean stalk in half and scrap out the beans, then discard the stalk}
Mix together all ingredients until completely combined.
Cover and then store in refrigerator for 1 hour to chill. Pour yogurt mixture into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturers directions.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour mixture into covered container and place in freezer.
The frozen yogurt will need at least 2 hours to freeze and set. To make the Ice Cream Soda, place 2-3 scoops of Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt in a cup and pour 1 bottle of Izze Sparkling Blackberry over top.

This looks delicious and I love how the ice cream is made from Greek yogurt! We would love for you to share at our first Super Summer Saturday party here: http://www.thechirpingmoms.com/2013/06/super-summer-saturday-party.html!
Thanks!

Thanks Julie, the Greek yogurt definitely gives it more of a tangy taste, but it is perfect with the sparkling blackberry.
Yum! Great choice of soda flavor!
Thanks Kim, and thanks for stopping by!
Krista, I am in love with round-up and yours sounds delish! I was kind of addicted to ice cream sodas growing up and honestly, I sort of still am! Love all of these great ideas and I think I’ll get started on sampling some….hmm…now! 🙂 Pinning!
Thanks Cindy, I gotta give Gina from Kleinworth & Co all the credit. She put the whole thing together. I checked all the recipes out yesterday and they all look and sound great.
your vanilla bean ice cream look incredible!!! I want an Ice Cream maker :o) I’m stopping over from my blog…. also part of the round up.. Emily @ Nap-Time Creations
thanks emily, it was really yummy. I saw your ice cream sodas on there, just haven’t had a chance to head over there yet but I will today! 🙂
This is SO my kind of treat! I love ice cream and soda together…and this frozen yogurt looks absolutely delish! Hope you have fun celebrating your hunny’s bday!
It was super yummy, especially with the sparkling blackberry juice. 🙂 We had a blast on his birthday, went to a steakhouse! The only thing that could have made his bday better is if the spurs would have won the NBA finals last night. 🙁
I love Izze! They have such awesome flavors–I almost used them for my ice cream soda recipe. 🙂 This sounds delicious!
They are awesome and you don’t end up feeling like you just had sugar overload like after a coke. 🙂
Major yum! Glad to be participating in this with everyone! Izze drinks are a fav of mine!
Thanks Tamar, me too! Gina is awesome for putting this thing together. 🙂
Love your fro-yo recipe- a lot healthier than what I have been doing. Time to change it up for sure.
Thanks for joining me on this- it’s been great to be able to work with your more!
Thank you so much! I have LOVED working with you too, and look forward to many more!!! 🙂
