How to Make Root Beer Popsicles
you have popsicle molds and sticks ready to go. If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and wooden sticks as a substitute.
Fill each of the ice pop molds about ⅓ full of vanilla ice cream. Make sure your ice cream is softened but not melted. This helps it blend smoothly with the root beer.

Pour root beer into each mold.
Allow the root beer foam to go down and then pour a little more until each mold is filled to the top.

Freeze homemade popsicles overnight and serve.
To release the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Gently pull the sticks to release the popsicles.
Enjoy your root beer float popsicles!

For a grown-up twist, try adding a splash of root beer schnapps to the mixture before freezing to make hard root beer float popsicles.
