Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust 9-inch
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 package cream cheese 8 oz, softened
  • 1/4 cup root beer concentrate
  • 1 tub whipped topping 8 oz, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers
  • 8 maraschino cherries

Instructions
 

  • 1. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for a few minutes so the whipped cream whips faster and holds its shape better.
  • 2. Add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to the chilled bowl, then beat until stiff peaks form. Place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the next mixture.
  • 3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and fluffy with no lumps remaining.
  • 4. Pour in the root beer concentrate and continue mixing until the flavor is fully blended into the cream cheese.
  • 5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the root beer cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  • 6. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is smooth, light, and airy.
  • 7. Spoon the filling into the graham cracker pie crust and spread it evenly all the way to the edges.
  • 8. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. For the best texture, chill overnight.
  • 9. Before serving, drizzle the top with chocolate syrup and caramel sauce.
  • 10. Finish with crushed graham crackers and maraschino cherries, then slice and serve cold.

Notes

Use root beer concentrate instead of soda so the filling keeps a thick and stable texture.
For the cleanest slices and best flavor, chill the pie overnight before serving.
Add the toppings just before serving so the whipped topping stays fresh and the graham cracker crumbs stay crisp.
