Jump to Recipe

I've mentioned it before, but, my mom had a huge sweet tooth.  She baked nearly everyday (not kidding) during my childhood and there was always room for dessert after dinner.

In the summer, when it was just too hot to bake, ice cream was something that was always, always in the freezer.  Even as my mom got older, she kept those little individual cups of ice cream in her freezer.  You know, just in case, you need something sweet. ♡

Instead of regular ice cream, sometimes, she would make up root beer floats.  They are just two ingredients and are perfect for summer or of course, whenever you want something sweet. ;)
