Most people know how to make a root beer float, but using homemade vanilla ice cream takes it to another level. I made these decadent root beer floats (based on the Clinton St. Baking Company Cookbook
recipe
) last weekend in celebration of Kansas' 150th birthday. I used David Lebovitz's Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from his book The Perfect Scoop
. Honestly, I never go crazy for vanilla, I am more of a chocolate girl, but this ice cream is to die for. Using fresh vanilla bean creates a more rich, complex flavor compared to store-bought vanilla. See below for the Clinton Street root beer float recipe as well as David Lebovitz's vanilla ice cream recipe.
