Root Beer Float Ice Cream Cupcakes

Our family LOVES root beer, so I thought a perfect combination for dessert would be root beer float cupcakes. Rich root beer cupcakes, topped with a creamy, icy root beer sherbet!

ingredients:
root beer cupcakes (Baked recipe, here)
root beer sherbet (recipe, here)
whipped cream

First, I used Baked’s recipe for Root Beer Bundt Cake, BUT made them into cupcakes. I only made 12 cupcakes (half the recipe) and with the rest of the batter…

I made a just made a small cake for munching. Yum.

After the cupcakes have cooled, scoop out the sherbet onto each cupcake, then top it off with whipped cream.

The Baked recipe was a bit too heavy for my taste, so the root beer sherbet turned out to be the perfect pairing to counter it. This is the perfect ice cream cupcake combo!
