1. 1) I blender, combine the raspberries, cream cheese and almond extract, 1/2 of the ice cream, 1/2 cup of the cream soda. Cover and blend until smooth.
2. 2) Divide the blended mixture among 6 tall 16 oz. chilled glasses. Add a scoop of the remaining ice cream to each drink. Top each drink with the remaining cream soda.
3. 3) Garnish each drink with fresh or thawed raspberries - and a mint leaf would be extra special!
