To make an old-fashioned creamy root beef float that is creamy from the word "go," melt a couple of tablespoons of ice cream per float and pour that in the bottom of your glass first. You're welcome. Now go make one immediately.
1cupwhipped heavy creamunsweetened (my preference)
4maraschino cherries
Instructions
Pour 2 Tablespoons of melted vanilla ice cream in the bottom of your glasses.
Top off with about 1/4 of the bottle of root beer.
Add one scoop of ice cream to each glass and then slowly fill with root beer until the foam reaches the top rim of the glass.
Plop in another scoop of ice cream. Spoon or pipe on a generous swirl of whipped cream, and then perch a drained maraschino cherry on top.
Enjoy, and keep your bottle of root beer right next to you, because as you sip, you'll want to keep adding root beer. It's like a bottomless float!
Notes
You can change up the flavor of your soda and make any kind of float you want. Orange soda makes a great creamsicle float, and a Coke float is another family favorite. Enjoy!
