Classic Root Beer Floats

Root Beer Floats are the theme food of childhood. And, there’s no shame in enjoying this treat as an adult! These nostalgic Classic Root Beer Floats are made with bubbly root beer and a simple, creamy homemade vanilla ice cream using Gossner Shelf Stable Milk. To get the most out of your floats- try chilling the jars beforehand to help prevent the ice cream from melting as fast.

Try these variations:

• Swap out with Gossner Foods Shelf-Stable 2% Rootbeer Float Milk (#1709), Chocolate Milk (#1707), or Strawberry Milk (#1708).
• Top with Dream Whip Topping (#1952) and a maraschino cherry.
• Turn it into a slush drink by blending the root beer, ice cream, and ice until just smooth.
