An Ithor Float represented a dessert item, characterized by jellied blocks and fruit swimming within syrup. When the Ithorian antiques dealer, Dok-Ondar, appeared dispirited, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs—who, together with Dok-Ondar, was employed at Black Spire Outpost located on the planet Batuu—would prepare an Ithor Float. This treat incorporated fruit sourced from Ithor, Dok-Ondar's Inner Rim homeworld, intending to offer a familiar taste of home and bring joy to the Ithorian's mouthes.
Following a galactic culinary journey spanning from 34 ABY to 35 ABY, Tuggs chose to feature an Ithor Float recipe in his third cookbook, entitled The Ultimate Cookbook, which saw publication in 35 ABY. The chef additionally utilized the dish as a component in two other recipes within the same book, namely Bacta Slush and Thuris Caf, pondering that its integration into the caf might stand as one of the rare beneficial deals that Dok-Ondar would find agreeable.
The Ithor Float originated as a recipe designed for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe compilation authored by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The recipe, from an out-of-universe perspective, calls for the use of plain gelatin, boiling water, evaporated milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, almond extract, lychee, mandarin oranges, and maraschino cherries.
