MAKE IT CUTE

Seriously, who doesn't love a good root beer float? Obvi, when we found a frozen twist on this classic, we *had* to share with you. This recipe takes the classic root beer float up a notch into delicious root beer float popsicles! Yep, you heard right: root beet float pops. These treats are easy to make and even easier to eat. Check out the recipe below and get ready to enjoy your new favorite summer treat. 

Ingredients: Serves 10

• 12-14 ounces root beer
• 1 1/4 cup vanilla bean ice cream, slightly softened
• popsicle molds and popsicle sticks
• aluminum foil

Directions:

1. Pour a small amount of the root beer into each popsicle mold, filling about 1/3 of the mold.

2. Evenly distribute the ice cream between the popsicle molds in spoonfuls.

3. Fill the molds to the top with root beer, letting the foam die down each time you add more root beer.

4. Cover with lid of popsicle molds. Place a sheet of foil on top of the popsicle mold top and insert sticks (the foil keeps the sticks in place so they don't slip into the mold while freezing).

5. Place in the freezer until fully frozen.To remove popsicles run the molds under hot water for a few seconds and pull the popsicle stick gently.

6. Pop 'em out and enjoy!
