We like to eat this frozen as well. It slices easier when it's frozen.

                                        MY INGREDIENTS

 

I had already made the crust when

 I remembered to take pictures.

This is a 9 inch glass pie dish

 

 

Mix the milk, pudding, root beer extract

and root beer then fold in the whip topping

 

Pour into the COOLED pie shell.

I covered with plastic wrap and

put it in the freezer over night to set.

This pie was very good and easy to make. I did make the crust also and it really stuck to the pan. I used a glass baking dish and followed the directions exactly. I also served the pie frozen and it tasted just like a Root Beer Float! This is definitely listed as "make it again" in my recipe box!
