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 (and root beer floats for grown ups!) 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.

Amanda, It’s Christmas so I made eggnog root beer ice cream. Used soda stream root beer with cream, egg nog and vanilla. Easy and delicious.
Interesting! I never would have thought to put those flavors together :)
I saw this on a 4th of July roundup and just had to pin it.
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!
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
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!
