Root Beer Float Pie
Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup Root Beer
- 1/2 Cup Half & Half Or Whole Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Root Beer Concentrate
- 1 Box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix 3.4 Oz
- 1 Carton Cool Whip Thawed 8 Oz
- 6 Oz Ready-to-use Graham Cracker Or Shortbread Crumb Crust
Garnishes (optional but highly recommend)
- 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
- Maraschino Cherries
Instructions
- In large mixing bowl combine the root beer, milk, and root beer concentrate. Sprinkle the vanilla pudding mix over it. Whisk together for 1-2 minutes and then let it sit for 5 minutes so it can thicken.
- Fold in the thawed cool whip and mix together until it is combined together well. Pour into the prepared crumb crust and evenly spread it out.
- Cover with enclosed lid (the plastic lid from graham cracker crust) and place in the freezer for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Before serving prepare the whipped cream topping (if using). Beat together the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until thick and stiff peaks form. This will take about 5 minutes. Serve a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry over top of each piece. Or you can spread the whipped cream topping over top the pie and then cut into slices.
- Eat & serve straight from the freezer. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
