Ingredients

1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
3/4 cup root beer
12 vanilla wafers crumbled

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the ice cream and root beer. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Crumble cookies and stir into mixture.
Divide the mixture between 8 small dixie cups (about 1/4 cup each.)
Add a popsicle stick to each cup and freeze 4 hours or until completely frozen. *Pro tip: check the popsicle sticks after 15-20 minutes of freezing to be sure they're standing up straight.

Notes

Tips & Tricks

For the best results, use cold root beer. Warm root beer will melt the ice cream and make it harder for the sticks to stand up.
Check the popsicle sticks after 15-20 minutes of freezing to be sure they're standing up straight.
Dip the frozen cups in warm water for 5 seconds to loosen the edges for removal.

Recipe Variations

Use any flavor of ice cream
Substitute frozen yogurt for a lighter treat
Use any flavor of soda (my kids love orange!)
Omit the vanilla wafers OR substitute Oreos, chocolate chip cookies or any of your favorites
Add mini chocolate chips or white chocolate chips
Adjust the proportions to taste
Make them in any type of popsicle mold (the dixie cups are just easy to have on hand!)
