Root Beer Ice Cream

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!!!

My dad was a major root beer lover!

Floats, pop, candy barrels, Popsicles, and hopefully now… ice cream.

I made this Root Beer Flavored Ice Cream specifically for my dad, and I’m happy to report…he loved it!
