IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ROOT BEER EXTRACT

I’ve tried a number of root beer float freezer pie recipes and I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the root beer extract. Most of the recipes call for a Tablespoon or more of the extract and I caution you – it’s STRONG. In fact it almost gives the pie a maple like taste more than root beer.

My recipe only calls for 1 teaspoon and to be honest you could probably leave it out but I’m not sure if you would get enough of the root beer flavor. I found a teaspoon was just about right

You will need:

¾ cup root beer

½ cup milk

1 box instant vanilla pudding mix

1 teaspoon root beer extract

8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed

1 – (9”) prepared graham cracker crust

Maraschino cherries

Vanilla ice cream

Mini scooper

Paper straws

Pour into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top.

Cover and freeze for about 8 hours or overnight

Garnish each piece with a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream

Next add a cherry on top. 

Cut a paper straw and place on top too if desired!
