Ingredients

Scale

Liquids

  • 4 cups Blue Hawaiian Punch, chilled
  • 2 cups Sprite, chilled
  • 1 cup Pineapple juice, chilled

Ice Cream

  • 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream

Optional Garnishes

  • Edible glitter, for garnish
  • Candy canes, for stirring

Instructions

  1. Chill the Ingredients: Make sure to place the Hawaiian Punch, Sprite, and pineapple juice in the refrigerator well ahead of time to ensure they are thoroughly chilled. This step is important to keep the punch cold and maintain the frothy texture when the ice cream is added.
  2. Combine the Liquids: In a large punch bowl, gently pour in the chilled Hawaiian Punch, Sprite, and pineapple juice. Stir carefully to mix the ingredients without causing the Sprite to lose its carbonation, keeping the punch bubbly and refreshing.
  3. Add the Snowballs: Just before serving, scoop generous portions of vanilla ice cream and gently drop them onto the surface of the punch. Arrange the scoops evenly so they float like snowballs, creating a visually appealing and creamy texture.
  4. Serve with Style: Use a ladle to serve the punch into individual glasses, making sure each glass includes some of the melting ice cream for that luscious frothy effect. For a festive touch, optionally garnish the glasses with a sprinkle of edible glitter or provide candy canes for stirring, enhancing both the look and experience of the punch.

Notes

  • Chilling the liquid ingredients beforehand is key to preserving the punch’s refreshing quality and frothy ice cream texture.
  • This punch is non-alcoholic and perfect for family-friendly events and children’s parties.
  • For a separate vegan version, substitute the vanilla ice cream with dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
  • Extra pineapple juice can be added for a tangier flavor, or cut back on Sprite for less sweetness and fizz.
  • Serve immediately after adding ice cream to prevent it from melting too quickly and diluting the punch.
