My dad is a major root beer lover! Floats, pop, candy barrels, Popsicle’s, and hopefully now… ice cream. I made this Root Beer Flavored Ice Cream specifically for my dad, for Father’s Day. I hope he loved it. I know we did, and quite honestly my dad is actually very lucky that I was able to save any of his ice cream from the hungry wolves here at our house after it was made in order to gift it to him at all 🙂
So grab your spoon and get ready. This ice cream tastes just like a root beer float, minus the straw and foam, which I know are a lot of fun, but this is serious business people! We’ve got root beer flavored ice cream to eat!!! LOL

What a terrific ice cream! My daughter loves root beer floats, so I have a feeling she'd be thrilled with a bowl of this ice cream!
Thanks, Liz!

My kids adore root beer, so I know they would devour this in minutes! Such an awesome ice cream flavor!
This sounds so yummy! I recently had Dr Pepper Ice Cream, and it was really to die for, and tasted exactly like advertised. Although if Dr Pepper extract does exist, I am quite unaware of it, so I guess I would have to boil down actual Dr Pepper to a syrup and mix it with the base… I would be all over your dad's root beer ice cream though!
I have a friend who is HUGE on root beer that would love this!!
