As I'm sure you know, a proper egg cream is made of U-Bet chocolate syrup, grade A cream, and seltzer. ("A-cream" was the original ingredient, at some point someone misheard this as "egg cream" and the name stuck. There are no egg products in an egg cream.)

Since seltzer is relatively hard to find, I will forgive you for using club soda. In our health-conscious age it is also OK to substitute whole or lowfat milk for A-cream.

As to my recommendation that a small amount of ice cream should be briskly stirred into a small amount of soda when making an ice cream soda or float, a mixture of milk, club soda and U-Bet syrup should require little effort to mix.
