-
8 ounces whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
-
1 (6 oz) prepared graham cracker crust
-
Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Make the Root Beer Cream Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the root beer, milk, and root beer concentrate until well combined. Slowly add the vanilla pudding mix and whisk until smooth and slightly thickened (about 1–2 minutes).
2. Fold in the Whipped Topping:
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and creamy. Be careful not to overmix — you want it fluffy and airy like a real float.

3. Fill the Pie Crust:
Spoon the root beer mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap or a pie lid.
4. Chill Until Set:
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm and sliceable. For a firmer texture, you can freeze the pie for 1 hour and then transfer it to the fridge.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, top with maraschino cherries and an extra dollop of whipped topping if desired. Slice and enjoy this soda-fountain-inspired delight cold.
Optional Ideas:
-
Add chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a root beer float + sundae fusion.
-
Use mini pie crusts for personal servings at parties or cookouts.
