    Grab your spoon and get ready. This root beer 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!!!

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2014. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    My dad was a major root beer lover!

    Floats, pop, candy barrels, Popsicles, and this ice cream.

     
    Two scoops of Root Beer Ice Cream and in waffle cone bowl.

      My hubby would love your root beer ice cream recipe. Can this be made in an air tight freezer container instead of the ice cream maker/churn method?

        Hi Chris!
        While I don't think this recipe would translate well to a no-churn method, I do have a recipe suggestion for making a no-churn root beer ice cream that you might want to try.
        Here you go: 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 pinch salt, ½ bottle root beer extract (2 ounces, or to taste), 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
        Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 2 minutes on high). Fold in the sweetened condensed milk, salt, root beer extract, and vanilla extract. Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
        I hope you'll enjoy this no-churn ice cream and will let me know how it works for you.
        Take good care,
        Renee

      Truly 1/4 CUP root beer extract?

        Hi, Marci!
        Yes. Truly. I wanted a big punch of root-beer flavor and the only way to get that was to add (what seems) a crazy amount of root beer extract.
        You can experiment with yours, however, if you'd like. Start with half that amount, check the flavor and then add more if you think it needs it.
        I hope this helps.
        Thanks for the question.
        Renee

      I don't think I've ever seen root beer flavored ice cream before. I wonder how that would taste in a float?

      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!
