Ingredients
- 2 cups root beer (preferably a creamy, high-quality brand)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, to taste)
- 6 popsicle molds (3-4 oz each)
- 6 popsicle sticks
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together root beer, milk, and sugar (if using) until sugar dissolves. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
- Gently fold in the softened vanilla ice cream until just combined; do not overmix (some small lumps are fine).
- Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
- To unmold, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds until popsicles release easily.
Tips
- For a stronger root beer flavor, use a flat root beer (let it go flat first) to avoid too much carbonation.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, substitute half of the milk with additional ice cream.
- Store popsicles in an airtight container or individually wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 weeks.
