ROOT BEER FLOAT PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 full graham crackers
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
2 cups cold heavy cream
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup root beer, chilled
1/4 cup whole milk
One 3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 teaspoons root beer extract
7 maraschino cherries, stems on

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



Root Beer Float Pie image

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:

  • Prepare the Crust in Advance: For a flaky crust, make it ahead of time and chill it before rolling and baking. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender crust.
  • Use Fresh Root Beer: The fresher the root beer, the better the flavor of your pie. If possible, use a local or regional brand that is made with real cane sugar.
  • Don't Overcook the Filling: The filling should be thick and bubbly, but not overcooked. Overcooking can cause the filling to become too thick and gummy.
  • Let the Pie Cool Before Serving: This allows the filling to set and the crust to firm up. For the best results, chill the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream is the perfect complement to a slice of root beer pie.

Conclusion:

Root beer pie is a unique and delicious dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its creamy, root beer-flavored filling and flaky crust, it's the perfect pie for any occasion. Whether you're a fan of root beer or just looking for a new dessert to try, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give root beer pie a try.
