Smoky S'mores Root Beer Floats
Description
Smoky S'mores Root Beer Floats start by melting milk chocolate chips, which are drizzled around the rim of serving glasses to add a rich, chocolatey edge. The floats are layered with both chocolate and vanilla ice cream and a pinch of smoked sea salt to enhance the smoky notes. Root beer is poured over the ice cream just before serving to create a bubbly, creamy mixture. Crunchy graham cracker crumbs sprinkled on top contribute texture reminiscent of s'mores. The final touch is a charred or torched marshmallow for that authentic toasted flavor.
The float balances creamy, fizzy, sweet, and smoky elements for a unique twist on a classic treat. The root beer effervescence mingles with smooth ice creams, while the smoked salt and charred marshmallow add depth. This dessert beverage suits sharing or casual entertaining when a nostalgic yet different indulgence is desired.
To prepare the charred marshmallows safely without a bonfire, they can be torched with a kitchen torch, broiled carefully, or briefly melted in the microwave. Using smoked sea salt is key for the smoky flavor impact.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips melted
- 1 cup chocolate ice cream
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 2 root beer bottles
- pinch smoked sea salt
- 2 tablespoons graham crackers
- 2 marshmallows charred or torched
Instructions
- To melt the chocolate chips, place them in a bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until melty. I like to take a spoon and drizzle this around the rim.
- Fill each glass with both chocolate and vanilla ice creams. Add a pinch of smoked sea salt into the glass. Pour the root beer over top just before serving. Sprinkle on the graham crackers and add a charred marshmallow on to finish. Devour!
- As a note, you can char the marshmallows on a gas range, under the broiler (watch them the entire time!) or even just get them melty in the microwave if you don't have a bonfire of sorts.
