We love making homemade popsicles around here! If you’ve never tried it before, it’s so easy, so versatile and so much fun for my kiddos! The hardest part? Waiting for them to freeze. The second hardest part? Taking a picture of one before it melts. Ha! These Root Beer Float Popsicles have a bit of dark chocolate in them too, so they’re extra, extra delish (and SO simple!!)!
Enjoy! xx

Root Beer Float Popsicles
- Yield: 10 popsicles 1x
Description
The perfect treat for summertime! Our Root Beer Float Popsicles are an easy and delicious way to whip up dessert while the kids are home from school!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint of vanilla ice cream, pretty thawed
- 1 (12 oz) can of root beer
- ¼ cup dark chocolate sauce (the kind you use for topping sundaes!)
Instructions
- Popsicle molds should be at room temperature before assembling. Spray down inside each mold with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ice cream, Root Beer and chocolate sauce with a spoon.
- Pour mixture into the molds leaving an inch on top.
- Pop molds into freezer and freeze for one hour. After one hour, place the wooden sticks inside each mold. Continue to freeze at least 7 hours before removing.
- When you’re ready to serve, run your sink until the water is very hot. Holding the mold, place the bottom portion under your hot water for about 20 to 30 seconds. After that, you should be able to grab the sticks and easily remove each popsicle. If they’re not coming out easily, run the bottom of the mold under hot water a few seconds more.
- Remove, serve and enjoy.
Notes
You can, of course, mix and match this a million different ways! Try chocolate ice cream or even cinnamon!

Yum!! Just wondering. Did you try a version without chocolate? Is the chocolate necessary for the consistency or can it be left out? I have one kid who isn’t a chocolate fan…and I suppose I’ll have to share. 😉

We’ve made these three times only with the chocolate. That being said, I have made soda pops many, many times and it should still freeze beautifully without the chocolate!

Do you have a popsicle mold that you like?
Mix and Match Mama says
I have bought the expensive ones, but honestly, the super cheap old school ones off of Amazon are my FAVORITE!! Those are the only ones I use!!

Have you ever made these without using the nonstick spray? We have never done that with our molds, but We also have never used ice cream in our molds, so I wasn’t sure if that made a difference??
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes but they never come out easily, full intact, or sometimes, even at all.
Jaime says
These look amazing! I am definitely getting root beer tomorrow so we can tey this. Have you made gluten free chocolate chip cookies yet? I have been looking for a good recipe for them and I thought you might have one 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
We have…so far, we much, much, much prefer the flourless peanut butter cookies!
Jaime says
For your no bake Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Cookies what do you mean by oatmeal? Like Quick cooking oats? Or do you mean oatmeal packets lol sorry I am new to baking and i’m a little confused on the difference
Mix and Match Mama says
You can actually use either! I typically have old fashioned oats that are not quick cooking, but I’ve totally used quick cooking before too. They’ll both work in this recipe!
