Homemade Root Beer Float Popsicles
One of the best gifts I ever received was a 12 bottle sampler of root beer from my friend, Michele. I’ll never forget it – they were all completely different, in packaging and flavor. I enjoyed every last drop.
It’s really my favorite soda, and yet I rarely ever buy it other than to use in something, like Root Beer Floats. And, in this case, Root Beer Float popsicles. How could I not?
Ingredients Needed
All you need to make these popsicles are just 2 ingredients – root beer and vanilla ice cream!
How to Make Root Beer Float Popsicles
If you’ve never made homemade popsicles, you should – it’s easy!
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Add ice cream. Place chunks of ice cream in each popsicle mold, working quickly before it melts.
- Poor in the root beer. Slowly pour the root beer into a corner of each mold, filling to the top.
- Freeze. Freeze for 1 hour, place sticks in the molds, and continue to freeze for at least 5 hours.
- Enjoy. To remove pops, run hot water over the outsides of the molds for a few seconds, then gently pull the sticks.
Tips for Success
- You need cold FLAT root beer. The carbonation will bubble up when pouring. Open a bottle and place it in the refrigerate a day before using.
- Filling the popsicle molds. This popsicle recipe was created using a standard bar-shaped mold, each holding about 1/3 cup. If you are using a different mold, you might need to adjust the ingredients.
Make Ahead and Storage
You can keep your homemade popsicles in the mold for a few days, which is perfect if you’re enjoying them as a regular summer treat. If you won’t be eating them all in a few days, it’s better to remove them from the mold and transfer them to reusable plastic freezer bags, or a plastic container. You can freeze them in multiple layers, but be sure to put parchment paper between each layer. These popsicles will stay fresh for a few weeks in the freezer.

Loved these. So easy and great for kids and adults!
I was expecting you to mix the root beer and ice cream first, but that wouldn’t have been a float. Love the way you cook, lady!
My daughter Remi loved these.
We live a short distance from one of the last A&W drive-ins on the planet, and I cannot drive past that place without stopping for a root beer float. I LOVE these popsicles!
These are making me drool. In the bay area where I grew up there was this brewery that brewed their own root beer and I’ve never had anything else like it. Now I want root beer – and popsicles. It’s so darn hot!!
I made a boozy version of these and enjoyed every last melty drop. HA.
