Root Beer Float Ice Cream Cupcakes

Our family LOVES root beer, so I thought a great family dessert would be root beer float cupcakes. Chocolately root beer cupcakes topped with creamy, frozen root beer sherbet!

The beauty of this recipe is there’s no frosting required, just a scoop of delicious Root Beer Sherbet. The Root Beer Sherbet is simple to make, using just three ingredients! Scoop out a generously sized scoop and place it on top of the cooled cupcakes, instant dessert!
