Ingredients
  

Pie Filling and Crust
  • 1 9-inch crust Prepared graham cracker crust
  • 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup Root beer
  • 1 8-ounce container Frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Root beer extract
Optional Garnishes
  • As needed Whipped cream
  • As needed Maraschino cherries

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, root beer, and root beer extract until evenly combined.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping. Use a light hand and stop as soon as the mixture is blended so the filling stays fluffy and aerated.
  3. Spoon the filling into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  4. Cover the pie and freeze it for at least 6 hours. For the firmest slice and cleanest presentation, freeze it overnight.
  5. Let the frozen pie stand at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish each serving with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry if desired.

Notes

Root beer extract is optional but recommended because carbonation contributes little after mixing, while the extract gives the pie a more recognizable root beer flavor. Keep the pie frozen until shortly before serving because it softens quickly once removed from the freezer.
