Chocolate or Mocha Root Beer Float
Mocha Root Beer Float - dairy free
I didn’t think I liked Root Beer Floats. Soda and ice cream seemed like a silly kiddie treat at best. But this Mocha Root Beer Float - oozing with foamy, chocolate, fizzy, vanilla bean bliss – a hint of rich espresso – made me a float fan. This recipe can be adapted to suite the tastes of kids (the mocha turns into simple chocolate). And you can even make this float dairy-free/vegan like I did. Get the recipe and step by step photos..

Dairy-Free. To make this a dairy-free float, use coconut, soy or rice based vanilla ice cream. Use soy or rice whipped cream.
