12 ounces Chilled root beer
2 tablespoons Dairy-free whipped cream (optional)
1 piece Maraschino cherry (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slowly pour the chilled root beer over the ice cream. Be careful not to pour too quickly to prevent excessive foaming and overflow.

Step 4

Optional: If desired, top the float with a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream for an extra touch of creaminess.

Step 5

Optional: Garnish with a maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream for a classic look.

Step 6

Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon, and enjoy the refreshing, creamy indulgence of a dairy-free root beer float.
