Chocolate Egg Creams were made exclusively with Fox's U-Bet chocolate syrup. Fox's has a flavor which is markedly different from any other brand, and is still being created in Brooklyn, NY. Once you've tried it, you won't go back, I promise! Coffee, and Vanilla Egg Creams were also available at the soda fountains. The good old days! This recipe uses far too much milk and not nearly enough seltzer in my opinion.

Fizzy chocolate milk. If you don't like chocolate milk and if you don't like fizz then this isn't for you. If you do then you can appreciate this taste of NY. The fizz lightens the thickness of the milk if your wondering.

As a boy in NY, I grew up on these. In my neighborhood, they used ice-cold milk, and whipped it with the syrup in a blender before adding it to the seltzer water. My favorite was the Vanilla Egg Cream (egg creams were not necessarily Chocolate). Today, I make them with the Torani Vanilla (-not- French Vanilla) syrup.

I guess you must have grown up with these to appreciate them. I didn't, and wasn't impressed in anyway. This was...flat tasting. I love chocolate sodas, I'll stick with them. Thanks anyway.

Thank you for submitting this recipe...I have craved this drink since moving from the Philly area. They called it Italian Cream Soda at the Oaks movie theatre. Thanks again.

This is great! The only change I made was using light cream or half-n-half. and club soda. I mixed the cream and chocolate syrup in glass, added ice to top and poured the club soda on top. Unbelievably refreshing. It's not bad with a splash of Kahlua too.
