½cupfat-free milk,or regular milk

root beer extract,to taste, strength can vary greatly by brand

1pkginstant vanilla pudding mix,(4 serving size)

Preparation

Combine the root beer, milk and pudding mix in a large bowl.

Mix with a whisk until it begins to thicken. Fold in half of the whipped topping and desired amount of root beer extract. Start with just a little of the extract and give it a taste. You can continue adding more until desired flavor is reached.

Spread into the pie crust. Refrigerate for 5 minutes. Top with remaining whipped topping.

Slice the pie into 8 even slices (this makes it really easy to cut when it’s frozen). Add a cherry on each slice.

Freeze 8 hours or overnight.
