Ingredients

  • 12 ounces root beer soda

Directions

Step 1

Chill a tall glass in the refrigerator or freezer for about 5 minutes before preparation to ensure it is cold for serving.

Gently add one scoop (approximately 1/2 cup) of low-fat vanilla ice cream to the root beer. Allow it to settle and fizz.

Step 4

Pour the remaining 6 ounces of root beer over the ice cream, pouring slowly along the side of the glass to minimize foam overflow.

Step 5

Add a second scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream on top.

Step 6

Top the float with 2 tablespoons of fat-free whipped topping.

Step 7

Serve immediately with a straw and spoon. Enjoy your low-fat classic root beer float!
