REAL Rootbeer Float Popsicles

This may not look like much but let me tell you... it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real rootbeer float popsicle. Simple, cheap and delicious. That is one of my favorite combinations!

Here's what you'll need:

* Root Beer

* Vanilla Ice Cream

* Plastic cups (or paper)

* Aluminum Foil

* Sticks


Pour the rootbeer into the cups filling them about half way.

Add small scoops of ice cream. Add as much or as little as you want - you're the boss here.

Wait a couple of minutes for the fizz to go down and then cover with aluminum foil.

Make a small slit in the middle of the aluminum foil and add the stick. Make sure to push it down through the ice cream and to the bottom of the cup.

And freeze!

Here's what you end up with.

Looks pretty amazing doesn't it?

I think my crew was pleased.

Coming over from Sweets for a Saturday. There is no one even remotely a kid in this house, but these will be going in my freezer. The little plastic or paper cup idea is great. I would have never thought of that.
