When we were preparing for our “popsicle” week we came across this fantastic recipe for root beer float and cream sicle popsicles created by Jo from the sweetest blog, Smile Monsters! Root beer floats and creamsicles are some of the most delicous nostalgic treats, so what could be better than mixing them together to create one perfect popsicle!

Recipe by Smile Monsters!
For the root beer layer
1 12oz. root beer or 1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
For the cream sicle layer
1/3 cup whole milk
1 Tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Mix root beer and sweetened condensed milk together with a whisk. If it gets to foamy set it in the fridge for a bit to settle down. Pour 1/3 of the way into popsicle molds (Or dixie cups and popsicle sticks.) Freeze for about an hour.

Mix creamsicle ingredients together. Pour that in even amounts into your molds and freeze another hour. Then top off with remaining root beer mixture. Freeze again but don’t forget to insert your sticks once that top layer has gotten firm. This takes a little more work but they look super.

Here are a few tips that Jo gave to make the perfect popsicle!

This project is designed so that anyone can embellish it with their own style. In the example I used pink cardstock and embellished the card using colored pencils. I added a flower embellishment and affixed it with a coordinating brad.
