Root Beer Float Pie

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.

I love root beer floats! At our house, we are particular about our root beer. From the time my daughter was small, she referred to our root beer of choice as “dog root beer” otherwise known as Mug Root Beer. If you are unfamiliar with Mug Root Beer, it has a bull dog as part of it’s logo. Since I love the flavor of root beer floats, I thought a frozen root beer float pie would be equally as tasty and it was.

It may look a little strange while you are making it, but the results are fabulous. It is chilly, creamy, and full of root beer flavor. This base of this pie is a good old graham cracker crust. You can make your own or by a premade one from the store. This filling is made using some instant vanilla pudding mix, cold root beer, milk, root beer extract (I use Shillings root beer concentrate) and some Cool Whip. Place the filling in the crust and then give it 5 minutes in the fridge.

After the 5 minute chill time, you will spread some Cool Whip on the top. Then it needs to go into the freezer for at least 8 hours. Slice the pie and top each slice with a maraschino cherry if desired.

  1. I love the sound f the recipe. I will save It and try it as son as I can get my root beer. I love mug root beer but where we live in New Mexico they have a old fashioned brand that is made like it was in the old days and if you want to get real old fashioned they have a sarsaparilla that is out of this world. The problem with this is that we only buy it occasionally because it is expensive. $1 a bottle. or $6 for a 6 pack but this recipe would sure call for it. I love root beer floats and this will be fantastic.
