Frozen Root Beer Float Pie

by

Recipe Details

Cook Time: 8 Hours
Ingredients:
  • 1 tub (8 ounces) frozen Cool Whip, thawed
  • ¾ cup cold diet or regular root beer (I used regular)
  • ½ cup milk
  • Root Beer Extract to taste. (strength can vary greatly by brand)
  • 1 package (4 serving size) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 graham cracker crust (store bought or homemade)
  • 8 Maraschino cherries
  1. Combine the root beer, milk and pudding mix in a large bowl.
  2. Mix with a whisk until it begins to thicken. Fold in half of the whipped topping and desired amount of root beer extract. Start with just a little of the extract and give it a taste. You can continue adding more until desired flavor is reached. Spread into the pie crust. Refrigerate for 5 minutes. Top with remaining whipped topping.
  3. Slice the pie into 8 even slices (this makes it really easy to cut when it’s frozen). Add a cherry on each slice
  4. Freeze 8 hours or overnight.

 

Note: This pie will seem a little bit runny prior to freezing. Prior to freezing, slice the pie, this makes for easy serving once ready!
