1. Start by chilling a tall glass in the freezer for about 5 minutes to ensure your float stays extra cold.
2. Remove the chilled glass from the freezer and pour in half of the sugar-free root beer (approximately 6 fl oz). Pour slowly to retain the carbonation.
3. Gently add the vanilla extract to the root beer, giving it a little stir to mix.
4. Carefully add two scoops of keto vanilla ice cream into the glass. Allow the ice cream to float, rather than sinking completely to the bottom.
5. Slowly pour the remaining sugar-free root beer over the ice cream to create the classic foam on top.
6. Top the float with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream. For extra flair and flavor, you can add a small drizzle of sugar-free syrup or garnish with a cherry if desired, keeping in mind the keto guidelines.
7. Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon to enjoy this classic treat, keto style.
