“Pop?” my little guy asks.

When I don’t move quick enough, “POP!” he demands, as he runs to the freezer door and pulls at the handle with all his might.

‘Pop’ equates to ‘Popsicle’ and it’s safe to say that my kids are 100% freezer snack fans. It is also safe to assume that because of this and the heat of summer, Popsicle’s are flying out of my freezer as quick as the sea birds take off to the sky when you run full force through the sand towards them.

I have been eyeing up homemade Popsicle making since I stumbled upon some recipes on Pinterest. (If you visit my Pinterest Board, fair warning, there are a few adult only recipes).

It took me awhile to find the right Popsicle mold, and this one is perfect. For some reason, the metal ones intimidate me. All I envisioned was sharp edges, cut little hands, and required hand washing. Let’s be honest – it was actually the hand washing that terrified me.

I can honestly attest to the ease of this unit.

We recently experimented with our newest toy (the Popsicle maker) and are completely hooked on the Root Beer Float Popsicle creation.

Friends, fair warning this is the easiest recipe in the world – a hot (or should I say cold – I crack myself up) two ingredients.

Root Beer Float Popsicle Recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Cans of Root Beer
• Vanilla Ice Cream

Pour the two cans of Root Beer in a bowl and stir until the soda turns flat (that means no bubbles). Pour the Root Beer 3/4 of the way up in each mold. Add one spoonful of vanilla ice cream to each mold and stir. Top each mold with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream. Place molds in freezer for 20 minutes (just enough to set-up). Add the Popsicle handles to each mold and freeze for approximately 5 hours. That is it! So simple, and very refreshing for hot summer days.

Enjoy!
