Here in southwest Ohio we’re fortunate enough to have a number of root beer drive-ins that open for the summer. From Dayton down to Cincinnati, some go back all the way to the late 1950s!
We always enjoy stopping in to a few of them every year. It’s part of the season for us. Mugs of root beer, cheese coneys, popcorn, and the occasional root beer float all delight.
I got the idea for this recipe when I spotted a box of Sonic Root Beer flavored pudding mix at the grocery store. Got me thinking about those root beer floats. Why not make an ice cream that tastes like one?
Now I’ve made no-churn ice creams before and been very happy with how they they turned out. Which is helpful, since I don’t always have room in my freezer to chill the ice cream maker tub for churned ice cream.
I did make some adjustments to this particular recipe so it stays a little easier to scoop.
We both enjoy this a lot. It definitely reminds of a root beer float in flavor. Nice and creamy. Perfect for summer and hot weather.

This is a real treat – tastes like a root beer float. Love that the texture remains soft enough to scoop easily, too.
