No-carb root beer float

You can have a root beer float and cut out the carbs by using sugar-free root beer and substituting whipped cream for the ice cream. I use unsweetened whipped cream because the soda is usually sweet enough, but feel free to add a bit of sweetener to it if you like. If you are feeling really lazy, you don’t need to bother whipping the cream at all – just add a little bit of cream to a glass of sugar-free root beer, and you have yourself a lazy root beer float!

I’d love to use ice-cream in a root beer float, but I’ve never managed to find ice-cream that is completely carb-free. If you know of a carb-free ice cream, please leave a comment and let us know where to find it! Also, keep checking back on this blog, because I’m working on a recipe for zero-carb ice cream that you can make in an ice-cream maker.

Try to find a brand of sugar-free root beer that doesn’t use aspartame. I’ve tried Zevia all-natural soda, which is sweetened with stevia. Jones soda makes some sodas sweetened with Splenda, but I don’t think they have a diet root beer. I haven’t tried Hansen’s diet root beer, but it is sweetened with Splenda and looks good to me. Do you have a favourite diet root beer that isn’t sweetened with aspartame? Please leave a comment and let us know!
