Ingredients
- 1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
- 2 quarts root beer
Directions
Hang a large, well packed scoop of vanilla ice cream on the edge of a fountain glass or other tall drinking glass. Fill the glass 3/4 full with root beer. Set the fountain glass on a salad plate, underlining the glass for overflow. Serve floats with straws and parfait spoons. When you are ready to enjoy the floats, knock the ice cream into the root beer and watch it fizz up as the ice cream floats. Yummy! This is the simplest and my most favorite fountain drink!

The recipe did not specify whether to hang the ice cream on the bottom edge or top edge of the glass, and unfortunately I chose the bottom. I would recommend using something larger than a salad dish to catch the overflow for anyone else who plans to use the bottom of the glass. I am deducting two stars from the score for Rachael's failure to clarify.

So, we've been making ice cream sodas (which is what the rootbeer float is since 1874 but it takes Rachel Ray to revolutionize the recipe? Come on Rachel, you can do better than that. I doubt she even reads these, sadly.

I drink this to wash down late night bacon. Where would I be if it wasn't for Rachael Ray?
