everything is better on a stick.
i didn't invent root beer float popsicles- but i can eat them like a pro. and thankfully, making them couldn't be easier! i'm so obsessed with this frozen confection, that i'll be making a few more variations before the week is out. let's start with the classic though:
root beer float popsicles
- 1 bottle of root beer
- 1/2 pint of vanilla ice cream, softened
preparation:
- if using a popsicle mold with wooden sticks, soak the sticks in hot water for 30 minutes before you use them. this helps keep them from bobbing up when the popsicles are freezing.
- fill each cavity with a splash of root beer, and a spoonful of ice cream. alternate root beer and ice cream until you reach the top of the mold.
- scrape off any excess foam from the cavities. add the lid and sticks. freeze overnight.
- savor the sophistication quickly before it melts!
