Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be complicated to feel special. Sometimes the most memorable moments come from the little things — like a fun, festive treat you can make with your kids, your partner, or your favorite neighbors. This year, I’m sharing a quick and adorable idea that’s been a hit in my own home: the Cupid Float.
What Is a Cupid Float?
Think of it as a Valentine’s twist on the classic ice cream float — sweet, pink, and full of charm. It’s perfect for after-school treats, Galentine’s gatherings, or a cozy night in.
How to Make It You only need a few simple ingredients:
Pink frosting
Valentine’s sprinkles
Strawberry ice cream
Strawberry Crush (or strawberry juice for a lighter option)
Steps:
Rim your glass with pink frosting.
Dip the rim into sprinkles for a festive touch.
Add a scoop (or two!) of strawberry ice cream.
Pour Strawberry Crush over the top and watch the magic happen.
Cut the ends off of 1 strand of red licorice, then place into the cup to use as a straw.
Drink and enjoy!
Why I Love It ❤️
This treat is:
Kid-approved
Budget-friendly
Fast and fun
Perfect for Valentine’s Day photos
It’s also a great way to slow down and enjoy a moment of sweetness with the people you love.
