Serves: 4
Ingredients
For the blackberry sauce:
  • 2 cups frozen blackberries
  • juice of 1 lime
  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar (icing sugar)
To serve:
  • 2 scoops of ice cream, per person
  • soda water
  • sliced lime to garnish
Instructions
  1. To make the blackberry sauce, place the frozen blackberries into a heatproof container and microwave on high for about 30 seconds, just enough to defrost and slightly warm them.
  2. Place the blackberries into a blender, or use a stick blender, and process them until they are completely liquid. Press the puree through a sieve into a small bowl.
  3. Taste the blackberries and add as much lime and sugar as you think is required. 1 lime and about ⅔ cup of powdered sugar is about as much as I normally use.
  4. To serve the float, place two small scoops of vanilla ice cream into a tall glass, and add a quarter of the blackberry sauce on top. Pour in enough soda water to come right up to the top of the glass without spilling, garnish with a slice of lime and enjoy!
