Description

A classic and refreshing Vanilla Bean Root Beer Float that combines creamy vanilla ice cream with fizzy root beer, topped with a sprinkle of chocolate for a nostalgic and delicious treat perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 (12-ounce) cans root beer
  • 2 cups Vanilla Bean Dreyer’s Slow Churned Ice Cream
  • Chocolate sprinkles (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Pour Root Beer: Divide 1 can of root beer evenly between two large serving glasses, filling each glass halfway.
  2. Add Ice Cream: Drop 1 cup of vanilla bean ice cream into each glass, allowing it to float and start melting into the root beer.
  3. Top with Root Beer: Pour the remaining can of root beer over the ice cream in each glass to fill them up and create the classic frothy float effect.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on top for an extra touch of flavor and serve immediately while the float is cold and fizzy.

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla bean ice cream for the best flavor.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the classic fizz and creamy texture.
  • Chocolate sprinkles add a nice crunchy texture and complement the sweetness.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved easily for more or fewer servings.
  • For a grown-up twist, add a splash of vanilla vodka or spiced rum.
