Root Beer Float Ice Cream

Creamy, dreamy, cold, and refreshing, this root beer ice cream has all the chill-out power of a frosty root beer float; but scoopable. If you want to get very meta, you could make your root beer float with root beer ice cream!

I recently learned that root beer is not as popular anywhere else in the world than it is here in North America. It makes sense that it started here, since the sassafras it was originally made from was native to North America and East Asia.

It can be hard to describe the flavor of root beer to someone who hasn’t grown up drinking it because there are so many components to the flavors.

Root beer is commonly made with vanilla, caramel, wintergreen, black cherry bark, licorice root, sarsaparilla root, nutmeg, acacia, anise, molasses, cinnamon, sweet birch, and honey. No wonder it’s tough to describe!

But those of us who love it, love it dearly. And I’m willing to bet that if you’re Team Root Beer, you’re going to love this ice cream.

Psst; if you’re a true aficionado, you may want to try making your own root beer syrup. Endless root beer sounds amazing!

And if root beer ice cream sounds like your thing, you may also want to try our Dr. Pepper Ice Cream. Dr Pepper ice cream blends the nostalgia of a soda fountain drink with the indulgence of freshly churned ice cream.

These are my favorite inexpensive containers for storing ice cream. They’re perfect for gifting (who doesn’t love homemade ice cream?) storage, re-using, etc. I write the flavors on the lids with a sharpie and it washes off with dish soap.

I have more ice cream scoops than I can keep track of at this point and I definitely play favorites. This ice cream scoop does the best job ever of cutting through firm ice cream and still delivers a pretty scoop. It gets bonus points for being one of the least expensive scoops I own as well.
