Root Beer Float Pie

A childhood treat in (no bake) pie form that is so incredibly easy to make!

As a child, I had root beer floats all the time. My grandma kept Mug root beer and vanilla ice cream (by the gallon) on hand, so when I visited I could have a root beer float. As an adult, I really don't drink soda very often. I might have the occasional root beer or Sprite when I have fast food, but that's max once a month. I would give up soda completely except that I love root beer entirely too much. I saw this recipe and immediately saved it and put it on my meal plan.

I like to let my ice cream melt just slightly to stir into the root beer to get that light frothy mixture and this root beer float pie really captures that stage of a root beer float. It's heavenly. This pie doesn't take many ingredients and it's no bake. It's perfect to make the night before any get together. It's so easy!
