Ingredients
- 4 cups root beer, your favorite brand - I used A&W
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Open the can of root beer and pour it into a measuring cup. Let the root beer chill, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 2 hours. This is to allow the root beer to go “flat”. You want as few bubbles as possible.
- Just before you are ready to make the popsicles, measure out the ice cream into a medium size mixing bowl. Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Whisk in the flat root beer until smooth.
- Divide the root beer mixture evenly between the popsicle molds. Add the popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the popsicles are frozen through. Quickly run the popsicle molds under hot water to release the popsicles. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
Notes
- If you do not have popsicle molds, you can use ice trays and toothpicks for this fun recipe.
- Be sure to let this delicious treat freeze for at least 4 hours and up to overnight to make sure it is properly set.
- If you can’t get your popsicle sticks to stand up right away, wait and pop them in once the popsicles have been in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours.
