Shave Ice Root Beer Float
This is one of those ‘why didn’t I think of this before?’ It was a crazy hot summer day when I was visiting a friend and she busted out her shave ice maker for the kids.
I love root beer – as you know. I had already helped myself to her stash and was knee deep into a root beer float. But as I watched the kids pick their syrup flavors and touch the freshly shaved ice, a revelation came to me. I wanted my root beer float COLDER.
ingredients:
vanilla ice cream
root beer
shave ice
The best part of a root beer float to me is the icy, crunchy bits that form when the root beer hits the vanilla ice cream. You have to eat them fast or they’ll disappear. Instead, I wanted that texture ALL THE TIME minus the brain freeze.
So I layered the ice cream, root beer and topped it off with shaved ice. Give it all a quick mix up and you have the coldest, crunchiest, creamiest, flavorful root beer float ever. Ahhhh…summertime.
the other night i had ice cream and there was root beer in the fridge. why didn’t i think of this?!?
