These Root Beer Float Popsicles taste just like the classic drink, but in frozen form! Filled with sweet root beer and creamy vanilla ice cream, these popsicles are the perfect treat to beat the heat!
Today we’re talking about a classic dessert. One that involves root beer, ice cream, and a mug. Yep, just in case you couldn’t tell by the title of this recipe, it’s root beer floats. How do you feel about this dessert-drink? Love ’em, hate ’em, or never remember to make them?
If you chose the latter, then you’re not alone. While I do enjoy root beer floats, I can’t remember the last time that I actually had one! When I was little, I remember going to a diner-type restaurant with my parents. Whenever someone would order a root beer float, otherwise known as a black cow, they had to stand on their chair and moo like a cow. Needless to say, I hardly ever ordered a black cow there!
Now that I’m an adult, I still get a craving for root beer every now and then. I don’t drink much pop, but there are those times where I just crave a root beer or Dr. Pepper. And especially since it’s summer, there’s nothing like an icy cold pop to quench my thirst.
So when I was a craving a frozen treat last week, I decided to put my love for root beer and ice cream together and make these Root Beer Float Popsicles. Smooth, creamy, and bursting with ice cream, these popsicles will restore your love for root beer.
These Root Beer Float Popsicles taste just like the classic drink, but in frozen form! Filled with sweet root beer and creamy vanilla ice cream, these popsicles are the perfect treat to beat the heat.
And best of all, these frozen pops contain just two ingredients and are a breeze to whip up. You knew that was coming, right? All you need is some root beer, vanilla ice cream, and popsicle molds. To start, I poured the root beer into a large container and stuck it in the freezer so that it turned very cold (but not frozen) in order to prevent the ice cream from melting when mixed in.
Once the root beer has turned very cold, mix in about two scoops of vanilla ice cream. You don’t want the ice cream to dissolve, but rather you just want to break it into chunks. Next, take about a tablespoon of vanilla ice cream and drop it into the bottom of each popsicle mold. Pour the root beer mixture into each mold, filling almost to the top. Take another spoonful of ice cream and spread it on the top. Insert your popsicle sticks and freeze until ready to eat.
One bite and these Root Beer Float Popsicles will be your new favorite treat. The smooth root beer and creamy ice cream creatives a popsicle that will have you craving the classic drink all summer long.
