1

Gather your ingredients

To make Root Beer Float Popsicles, you'll need root beer and vanilla ice cream. Go ahead and grab your favorite brands and let's get started!

2

Prepare the molds

First, make sure your popsicle molds are clean and ready to go. Give them a quick rinse if needed. This step will ensure that your popsicles come out smooth and perfect.

3

Fill the molds

Now it's time for the fun part. Fill each popsicle mold about three-fourths full with root beer. You want to leave some room for the ice cream to expand when it freezes. Don't worry if it foams up a bit, that just means you're doing it right!

4

Add the ice cream

Take a scoop of vanilla ice cream and plop it right into each mold. Don't be stingy with the ice cream, this is what makes it a root beer float after all! You can use a spoon to push it down a bit if needed.

5

Insert the sticks

Now it's time to insert the popsicle sticks. Make sure they're centered in each mold and sticking out enough for easy removal later. If you don't have popsicle sticks, you can use sturdy plastic spoons instead.

6

Freeze and enjoy

Pop the molds into the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they're solid. Once they're ready, run each mold under warm water for a few seconds to help release the popsicles. Then, it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your refreshing Root Beer Float Popsicles!
