Frozen Root Beer Float Pie is the perfect dessert on a hot day and fairly rich so a thin slice goes far.

We all know that root beer floats are an iconic summer time treat so this fun spin on a summertime favorite is sure to quickly become a cherished favorite recipe recipe.

In a large bowl combine:

• 12 whole Graham Cracker Ground Into Crumbs
• 1/4 cup Sugar

Mix until well combined. Add 1/2 cup Melted Butter, and stir until combined.



Press graham cracker mixture evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. I find a measuring cup works well for pressing the crumbs evenly into the bottom and sides.

Bake crust in a 375 degree oven for 7 minutes or until lightly brown.

Cool completely. 

In a large saucepan stir together:

• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour 
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Until well combined.

Slowly pour in: 

• 2 1/2 cups Root Beer
• 1/2 cup Whole Milk 

Stirring to prevent lumps.

Bring to a simmer and stir until thickened.

Remove from heat.

Whisk together: 

• 4 whole Egg Yolks
• 1/2 cup Thickened Root Beer Mixture 

While whisking into the egg yolks add an additional 1 1/2cups Root Beer Filling mixture.

Pour Egg Yolk/Root Beer Mixture into remaining Root Beer Mixture and return to a simmer while stirring. 

Return to heat and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Remove from heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract.

Pour root beer pudding mixture into baked graham cracker crust and refrigerate until cold.

Then freeze for 6-12 hours for frozen or pie can be served chilled.

Cover with lightly sweetened whip cream and serve with a cherry on top! 

Run a sharp knife under hot water and dry to make slicing easier.

A fun twist on a classic dessert!
