Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and process until you get fine crumbs. (This can also be done in a large plastic zip-close bag with a rolling pin.) Pour the crumbs into a large bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until evenly mixed.
- Press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, gently packing them so they're firm and in an even layer. If you go up and over the sides, that is fine. Bake the crust for 5 minutes; let it cool and then chill for 20 minutes.
- For the filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream and confectioners' sugar and whip until firm peaks form.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the root beer, milk, pudding mix and root beer extract until thick, about 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold 2 cups of the whipped cream into the root beer mixture until almost completely blended. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth out with a spatula. Top the pie with the remaining whipped cream.
- Garnish with maraschino cherries and chill for at least 2 hours. Enjoy!
ROOT BEER FLOAT PIE
Received this from a Taste of Home email and the description made me sit up and take notice (not to mention the great photo) It stated: "The kind of recipe kids will look back on and always remember and the only appliance needed is the fridge" Well, I'm keeping my 2 grandsons this weekend and I'm going to make it for them as they LOVE root beer floats. The recipe states is Diabetic friendly (I don't know a lot about that to confirm) and uses fat and sugar free - but thinking for my boys I'm going to go all out with the fats and sugar. Prep time does not include chilling. I've been reading some of the reviews on this and a lot of folks seem to have a problem with it setting up; so thinking I'm going to do TWO things, first cut the root beer down to 1/2 cup, AND add 2 teaspoons of root beer extract. I also might try a 3.4 ounce box of pudding instead of the 1.7 sugar free - knowing this will of course change the sugar content.

Tips for Making a Perfect Root Beer Float Pie:
- **Choose the right root beer.** Not all root beers are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a root beer that is strong and flavorful. Some good options include A&W, Barq's, and IBC. - **Use cold ingredients.** The colder your ingredients are, the better your pie will be. Make sure to chill the root beer, ice cream, and whipped cream before you start making the pie. - **Don't overmix the ingredients.** Overmixing can make the pie grainy and icy. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. - **Freeze the pie before serving.** This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice. Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. - **Garnish the pie with whipped cream and a cherry.** This will make the pie look even more festive and delicious. ###Conclusion:
Root beer float pie is a fun and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, this pie is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give root beer float pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
