Blogger Jessica of How Sweet Eats came up with a fun way to combine the deliciously sweet taste of root beer soda with ice cream in these 'Floatsicle' icy treats.
Jessica makes these delicious summer treats by combining two bottles of root beer with one cup of decadent vanilla bean gelato. Once the soda and the gelato are combined, you can pour the mixture slowly -- so it doesn't foam up and spill over -- into popsicle molds. The result is a creamy and carbonated icy treat that will nostalgically remind you of visiting a diner on a Sunday morning. To serve, Jessica recommends mixing up a drinkable root beer float and placing the 'Floatsicle' popsicle inside the drink as a snackable ice cub. Feel free to garnish with a few yummy cherries.
