About

The root beer float is an icon of the 1950s, invoking an era of jukeboxes, candy colors, and sleek chrome with every sip... or bite! Root Beer Pie takes the malty, creamy soda counter concoction and turns it into a confection you can't help but crave. The filling is smooth and infused with vanilla, with a pop of soda flavor throughout, all atop a graham cracker crust. Root Beer Pie is as carefree and joyful as its namesake drink: you just need a fork instead of a straw!
