Root Beer Float Popsicles

Hi my friends! It’s Laura from Inspiration for Moms back to share with you another easy dessert recipe. Summer is officially here and I have the perfect treat to help you celebrate! If you love a good ole fashioned Root Beer Float,  check this out…

My Root Beer Float Popsicles are a sweet twist on the famous float. It’s just more fun to eat when it’s made into a popsicle, right? 😉

Some similar float recipes have very distinct, individual layers. But who wants a layer of just plain ice cream? Not me! The trick is to mix the Root Beer and ice cream as you fill your molds. Start with the Root Beer than add some ice cream, then take a spoon and poke that ice cream around. It’s not a very technical process, but necessary none the less.  The more you mix the layers, the more you will get that true classic float taste!

As you might guess, this treat is a little high on the calories. But you could always modify with frozen yogurt in place of the ice cream. The best part of the whole popsicle is the very last bites, compacted full of Root Beer and ice cream sweetness!

I hope you will give this frozen treat a try and let me know how it goes! Alright everyone, a very happy summer to you all and I will see you again in July! I have some pretty EXCITING NEWS that I will be sharing on my blog tomorrow, so feel free to stop by Inspiration for Moms and say hi! 😉
