Root beer float pie

Root Beer Float Pie

1 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip, Thawed

3/4 cup of root beer, diet or regular

1/2 cup milk (I used 1%)

Root beer Extract to taste

1 small package of instant vanilla pudding mix

1 graham cracker crust store bought or home made

Maraschino cherries for garnish if desired. It does make the pie look prettier.

Combine the root beer, milk, and pudding mix in a large bowl. Mix with a whisk until it begins to thicken. FOLD in half of the whipped topping and desired root beer extract. Taste test to see if you would like to add more. Remember you can add but not subtract.

Spread onto the crust. Refrigerate for 5 minutes or so, then top with cool whip. Slicing the pie now makes it easier to cut when it’s frozen. Freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
