Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces root beer soda
- 1 cup low-fat vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons fat-free whipped topping
Instructions
Chill a tall glass in the refrigerator or freezer for about 5 minutes before preparation to ensure it is cold for serving.
Pour about 6 ounces of the root beer soda into the chilled glass, filling it halfway.
Gently add one scoop (approximately 1/2 cup) of low-fat vanilla ice cream to the root beer. Allow it to settle and fizz.
Pour the remaining 6 ounces of root beer over the ice cream, pouring slowly along the side of the glass to minimize foam overflow.
Add a second scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream on top.
Top the float with 2 tablespoons of fat-free whipped topping.
Serve immediately with a straw and spoon. Enjoy your low-fat classic root beer float!
