Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar-free root beer
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free vanilla extract
- Ice cream (sugar-free, optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of sugar-free root beer, 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon of sugar-free vanilla extract, and sugar-free ice cream (optional).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and the sugar-free vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to whip the cream until it thickens slightly, but do not overwhip it; you want it to be pourable.
- If you are using sugar-free ice cream, scoop a generous portion into two serving glasses or bowls. This will serve as the base for your root beer float.
- Slowly pour 1/2 cup of the sugar-free root beer over the ice cream in each glass. Watch as the root beer fizzes and creates a delightful foam.
- Next, gently pour the whipped cream mixture over the top of the root beer and ice cream, allowing it to float on top.
- For an extra touch, you can drizzle a little more root beer over the whipped cream for added flavor and decoration.
- Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon, if desired, and enjoy your ridiculously easy low carb root beer floats!
Tips
- Cream Whipping Technique: When whipping the heavy cream, watch it carefully. Stop beating just as it starts to thicken - you want a pourable consistency, not stiff peaks.
- Ice Cream Selection: Choose a high-quality sugar-free ice cream. Look for brands specifically designed for low-carb or keto diets for the best texture and flavor.
- Serving Temperature: Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the perfect fizz and temperature contrast between the cold ice cream and bubbly root beer.
- Customization Option: Experiment with different sugar-free flavored extracts to create unique variations of this classic dessert.
- Chilling Glasses: For an extra touch, chill your serving glasses beforehand to keep the float colder for longer and enhance the overall experience.
- Root Beer Brand Matters: Select a high-quality sugar-free root beer for the best flavor profile. Some brands have a more authentic taste than others.
