I am a sugar addict and this is one of my favorite things to do! I eat a 1,500 calorie goal everyday and this is SO easy to fit in. I used Chocolate Halo Top ice cream (1 serving, 2/3 cup, 100 calories 6g protein) and Zero Sugar A&W Root beer and this will definitely be on repeat for summer days. Next time I might try Halo Top’s Vanilla or really any flavor. Total is only 100 calories! The ice cream gets a nice crisp on the outer edge from the pop too.
Hope this is helpful to any sugar cravers out there like me who need a little something almost every day 😂

I recently have been wanting to try this so I’m glad someone has and confirmed it went well! I was unsure if the halo top would just immediately disintegrate lol. I’m excited to try! 🙂
Zero sugar root beer and a shot of vanilla crown is one of my favorite treats that scratches that itch for something sweet! I’ll have to throw a scoop of halo top in there… boozy root beer float
That root beer is my favorite drink in the world!
Aww yesssss thank you for this!
Wait, I’ve never thought about trying a root beer float with chocolate ice cream 🤯 now I want to try that!
A&W zero sugar is the best!
Saved 👌
Why haven’t I thought about this?? I LOVEEE rootbeer floats and haven’t had one in so long. Definitely gonna give this a try this weekend
But a float with *chocolate* ice cream? Preposterous!
toss in a few shots of rum too 😉
YOURE A GENIUS
I love me a root beer float, heavy on the root beer, light on the ice cream. Will have to check this out, although I’m not sure how much fake sugar my tummy can take.
Omggg I’m going to try this not a root beer person but I’ll try with Diet Coke lmaooo
Haha I’m glad to see all the sweet lovers out there! Glad I could contribute to some (hopefully) sweet ice cream floats in y’alls future
How does that much fake sugar not make you crave more? The more diet drinks/food I consume 1) my insides turn upside down 2) I crave more sugar
The only problem is finding suitable flavors of Halo Top! I always see less common flavors with bits in it rather than say, vanilla.
I found a 6×6 pack of Root Beer/7 Up/Orange Soda at Costco and I’ve been in love ever since
Wait, you’re a genius. No clue how I haven’t thought of this before.
Gasp! I didn’t know there was zero sugar A&W! My stores are totally lacking
Bruh, how have I never thought of this??
Okay but *chocolate*?
Who needs root beer/coke or vanilla ice cream for a float?? Had an interesting one last night. Polar blueberry lemonade seltzer with a modest scoop of Schwan’s Blueberry Lemon Bliss ice cream. Hubby tried one tonight…that heathen had the nerve to…put it in a **bowl**.
Chocolate in a float!? I would suggest: vanilla bean. Also: great idea enjoy
Thank you for this. I love the “sweet hacks”.
Fucking genius
How should one substitute root beer in this recipe? It’s not available in the Netherlands.
Edit: perhaps ginger beer or tonic?
I bought the soda today, but then I found a 10 pack of Breyers vanilla ice cream cups that were 100cal each! For less than the price of one halo top pint! I’m trying to cook dinner right now and it’s taking all my energy to not make and drink a float right now!
