Since I was a child I have enjoyed an occasional root beer float! That was often a treat when we were under the weather. Even now at my advancing age I get a craving for one every once in awhile. So when I found a recipe for a Root Beer Float Pie in a magazine I just had to give it a try! It hit the spot in this warm weather. I just made it for a second time. It’s fast and easy to make which is another plus! Try it see if you like it too.
Root Beer Float Pie: 22 cream-filled vanilla sandwich cookies, crushed 1/4 cup salted butter, melted 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided 1/2 cup whole milk 1/2 cup root beer ( not diet) 1 ( 3.4 oz.) box vanilla instant pudding mix 1 1/4 tsp. root beer extract 1 tablespoon sugar In the work bowl of a food processor, place cookies; process until finely ground.

In a large bowl, beat milk, root beer, pudding mix and extract with a mixer at medium speed until thickened, about 2 minutes. Fold in whipped cream. Spread into prepared crust. In a medium bowl, beat sugar and remaining 1 cup cream with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie filling and sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons crumb mixture.
