This Root Beer Float Pie is a frozen, nostalgic dessert that captures all the classic flavors of a root beer float in an easy, no-bake pie. Creamy, light, and refreshingly sweet, it combines root beer, vanilla pudding, and fluffy whipped topping in a crisp graham cracker crust. It’s the kind of dessert that instantly brings back memories of summer days, soda fountains, and old-fashioned treats.

Perfect for warm-weather gatherings, potlucks, or anytime you want a fun dessert without turning on the oven, this pie comes together in minutes and does the rest of the work in the freezer. The result is a smooth, sliceable frozen pie with a creamy texture that melts perfectly as it warms slightly on the plate.
