Root Beer Float Ice Cream
This ice cream captures all the fizzy fun of a root beer float and brings it right to your home freezer. Trust us, your taste buds will send you thank-you notes!
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup root beer
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Add the root beer and vanilla extract to the mixture. Gently stir until everything is well combined, but be careful not to create too many bubbles – we want ice cream, not a science experiment!
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Normally, this takes about 20-25 minutes, so kick back and sweep up any spilled root beer float dreams while you wait.
- Once it reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. For a little extra fun, fold in some mini marshmallows for those extra floaty vibes!
- Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours, or until it’s firm enough to scoop. The anticipation will be killer, but trust us – it’ll be worth it!
- Scoop into bowls and top with a splash of root beer, whipped cream, or even a maraschino cherry if you’re feeling fancy!
Voila! You now have a delightful, creamy concoction that blends the nostalgic flavor of root beer floats with the ice cream you know and love. Enjoy this treat any time of the year, and watch it melt your troubles away – one scoop at a time!
