Turn the nostalgic flavor of a root beer float into a creamy, dreamy dessert! This easy Ninja Creami Root Beer Ice Cream recipe combines fizzy root beer with whipped topping for a smooth, indulgent treat. Perfect for beginners and soda shop fans alike. Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz root beer soda (semi-flat for best results)
  • 1 packet Dream Whip mix (dry whipped topping mix)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Soda

  • Pour root beer into a measuring cup or bowl. Stir gently for 4-5 minutes to release excess carbonation. The soda should taste semi-flat but still fizzy.

Step 2: Mix Ingredients

  • Add the Dream Whip mix to the flat root beer. Whisk until fully dissolved and smooth. The mixture will look slightly frothy at first.

Step 3: Freeze the Mixture

  • Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top for expansion. Loosely cover the lid and freeze for at least 24 hours.

Step 4: Process in the Ninja Creami

  • Place the frozen pint into your Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Lite Ice Cream” setting. If the texture is crumbly, use the “Re-spin” function once or twice until creamy. Add a tablespoon of water if needed and re-spin.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in chilled bowls or tall glasses for a soda shop vibe. Top with whipped cream and a cherry for extra flair!

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use regular (not diet) root beer for better texture. Stirring it flat prevents gas buildup during freezing.
  • Don’t overfill the pint container—leave space for expansion to avoid uneven freezing.

Storage Instructions:

  • Store leftover ice cream in its original pint container with a tight lid for up to two weeks in the freezer. If it hardens too much, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping or re-spin in the Ninja Creami.

This simple recipe brings back childhood memories with every bite! Whether you’re hosting friends or treating yourself, this creamy root beer ice cream is sure to impress.
