Root Beer Float Pie & Orange Dreamsicle Pie

Who can resist a cool refreshing frozen pie, especially in your favorite flavors of root beer and orange. Recently I discovered that a local milk producer was making both root beer and orange flavored milk, in addition to chocolate. And he was selling it in old fashioned milk bottles. So cute. They look like the milkman just delivered them in a 1955 milk truck. (Now mind you, I’m not saying I’m old enough to remember a 1955 milk truck – only that I have seen them on old TV shows. Yep, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ) I am a big lover of chocolate milk and theirs is some of the best. The milk is rich and full bodied and, even with my eyes closed, I can taste the flavors of chocolate, orange, and root beer. The root beer milk tastes like the milky part of a root beer float. The orange milk tastes like a dreamsicle ice cream treat. One taste and I knew that I was making pies.  Here is my recipe for Root Beer Float pie and Orange Dreamsicle pie.
