BLACK AND WHITE AND RED ALL OVER SODAS

Steps:

• Place a fountain glass on a dessert plate (to catch the overflow). Place a fountain glass on the plate and pour in the chocolate syrup, half-and-half or cream and cherry juice. Over-pack a scoop with ice cream and hang it on the side of the glass. Mix with a long spoon and fill glass with seltzer. Top ice cream with a loop-de-loop of whipped cream and a cherry. Serve with a straw and the long, mixing spoon. Yum-o!

BLACK & WHITE ICE CREAM SODAS

Steps:

• 1. Place chocolate sauce and milk in the glass you plan to use (at least 12 oz. capacity) and stir well. Pour seltzer water a little less than half full, stir gently. Add ice cream, one scoop at a time. being careful not to overflow glass; stir again (gently). Add more seltzer, if necessary, and top with Redi-Whip if you like.
• 2. Feel free to play around with the amounts of chocolate and milk. A lower-fat version can be made by simply using skim milk and low-fat ice cream. Go ahead and use the Redi-Whip, anyway.
