I know, right? Another ice cream recipe, sheesh! I can’t help it, I’ve been experimenting with different flavors and came up with this as soon as I remembered I had some root beer extract in the pantry. We love root beer floats so this was a given. Usually made with vanilla ice cream and root beer soda, root beer floats have been a favorite for many years. Well, now you can have it in ice cream form.
All four of my kids are huge root beer fans. I am too, and I really don’t drink soda. I will make an exception for root beer though. This is really easy to make and if you start early enough, you can be enjoying it that same evening.

Dont worry…I cant get enough ice cream right now. I have a new one going up on Monday! I am loving your Black cow flavor!!!
You know, I’ve heard of black cows before, but I had no idea what was in it. Sounds delicious and I think it’s always a good time for ice-cream!
Where I’m from, a Black Cow is made with chocolate ice cream. Regardless, this looks and sounds delicious.
Ohhh that sounds amazing too — hmmm might have to try that as well!
Really congrats for your photos.
Wonderful Picture…even better product, looks amazing!
I am going to have to try this soon. I love root beer floats and root beer ice cream sounds delicious.
This ice cream went FAST. They are begging for more already!
We love root beer floats here, too. I’ve been meaning to get some root beer extract and I need more sweetened cond. milk!
This ice cream looks amazing! We call a root beer float made with chocolate ice cream a black cow:)
Hi Sue! Since you are the second person to say that, and I was not aware of that (though it totally makes sense!) I have changed the name of this to Root Beer Ice Cream and WILL be trying a chocolate version, yum!
I am in proces collecting summary recepies to make..especially new ones to me.Spring just started and we will be full into those.So thsi icecream is very welcome;)
Root beer floats were my favorite growing up and this ice cream brings me right back. Yum.
Amanda, I never would have thought you would change the name, based on what a couple of us wrote. I have friends from NJ, and there, they call a root beer float a black cow. Clearly, it’s a regional thing. (I’m from RI.) Still, you must certainly try a (real) “black cow!” : )
No biggie! Just give me an excuse to make a REAL black cow ice cream now! :)
Yay for all of us!!
Sounds great. I’m a huge root beer fan too. Plus a huge ice cream fan!
Thanks Curt, I’m pretty fond of ice cream myself :)
Amanda, this looks amazing! How did I never know that root beer extract even existed?! Can’t wait to try it.
I know, when I saw it in the store several months ago I was excited!
Oh, my nephew is staying with us next week and he loves root beer floats. I’ll have to make this for him.
My mom loves Root Beer Floats! I need to make this for her :)

This looks totally heaven. We just made vanilla (my first time EVER) but I was thinking root beer sounded so much better. Totally making this tomorrow. Thanks!
How much ice cream does this make? I’m planning on using a 4-quart ice cream maker, and I need to know whether to double or triple.
About 1.5 quarts
I made this for my boyfriend’s birthday party, and it was a big hit. He loved it. It tasted just like a root beer float. I could only find root beer candy flavoring by LorAnn, so I just added the flavoring by taste. I used 2 drams (about 2 tsp). Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it Adica, thank you!
