Is an ice cream soda the same as an ice cream float?

Although they’re similar, an ice cream soda uses soda water with flavored syrup and scoops of ice cream, while an ice cream float typically combines a soda (like root beer or cream soda) directly with ice cream. Both bring those irresistible fizzy bubbles and creamy goodness!

What are the ingredients in root beer float pie?

Root beer float pie usually contains a crunchy pie crust (often made from graham crackers), instant vanilla pudding mix, cold root beer instead of cream soda, whipped topping, and sometimes vanilla extract. The recipe is quite similar to this no bake cream soda float pie, just swap the sodas!

What's it called when you put ice cream on pie?

2. Press crumbs across the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate; freeze 15 minutes.

3. Whisk cream soda, milk, pudding mix, and extract for about 2 minutes until slightly thick.

4. Fold in whipped topping gently until no streaks remain.

For a bolder soda flavor, use cream-soda extract.

Freeze the pie on a level shelf so the filling sets evenly.

The crust also works wonderfully in mini tart pans for individual treats.
