Ingredients
- Instant vanilla pudding

- Root beer (you can also add a couple of teaspoons of root beer extract if you want a stronger flavour, but I find root beer is all you need!) Who knows where to get root beer extract anyway!!

- Maraschino cherries
See the recipe card below for the ingredient measurements.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 - Making the filling: To a large mixing bowl, add the vanilla pudding mix, milk and root beer and whisk together until combined. Wait a few minutes until the pudding thickens, and then fold in the Cool Whip until smooth.
Step 2 - Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the pie shell and chill it in the freezer for up 6-8 hours or overnight, until firm.
Step 3 - Serve: Top with swirls of whipped cream (or leftover Cool Whip) and maraschino cherries.
Storage
Store leftover pie in the freezer for up to three months covered or transfer to airtight containers.
