Root Beer Float Ice Pops

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 8 maraschino cherries, stemmed, drained, and patted dry
• 4 cups root beer (before using, chill in bottle with cap loosened)
• 2-1/2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Place a cherry in each of eight 6- to 7-ounce molds or paper cups. Fill halfway with root beer. Tilt to get the angled design and freeze until almost firm, 1 to 2 hours.

Add ice cream and insert sticks. Cover and freeze for 1 hour. Slowly add more root beer, skimming off any foam, until the molds are full. Cover; freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.

Remove from freezer. Let stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes before unmolding.
