Cheesecake is like ice cream, but in the form of a cake. So a root beer cheesecake is perfect. It’s cheesecake, but ice cream – it’s both!
Root Beer Cheesecake
This root beer cheesecake literally tastes just like a Root Beer Float!
It’s smooth with pockets of both root Beer flavored cheesecake and cream,
and with a gorgeous paisley ornate top crust.
How to Make Root Beer Cheesecake
It’s all about the swirl.
For this cheesecake you’ll make the cheesecake part just like normal. Whip the cream cheese with sugar and eggs until super creamy. Add some whipping cream to make it extra creamy.
Then in a separate bowl you’ll combine more cream, root beer extract and vanilla extract and mix them together.
Pour it into the cheesecake butter, but…
DO NOT STIR!!!
Just swirl. Just swirl it enough to mix it in just delicately enough to separate it from the batter.
The result is gorgeous!

Should I Eat this Cheesecake Frozen or Room Temperature?
It’s amazing either way.
When it’s at room temperature, it’s more like root beer cheesecake.
When it’s frozen, it’s more like root beer float cheesecake!

I have to admit, I don’t like root beer at all… that said, your cheesecake might be enough to change my mind it looks so frackin’ cool!
What a great idea! You should patent that!! The marbling is lovely, and wish I could try a piece!
Wow…I would have NEVER thought to do a root beer cheesecake. I bet it was great…just needs a bit of bubble in it! 😉
My husband LOVES rootbeer floats, too bad he just left for Kuwait last week. I am going to save this and make it for him as a soon as he makes it back to the states. I just came across your blog and now I am hooked! keep up the wonderful work.
Wow! I love this idea and the cheesecake looks really impressive too! All I need is a big scoop of ice cream.
What an absolutely brilliant idea, Kitty! It looks amazing! I was going to make a toffee root beer float cupcake for the ICE challange, but I didn’t have the time or help to get it done 🙁 Oh well, I think trying your cheesecake recipe will eventually make up for that 🙂

What a great idea, and so perfect for hot weather. I'm late getting to your blog, but thanks for doing such a creative spin on the recipe!

This was a very good cheesecake, but mine looked nothing like the pictures you posted. I'm not sure where the brown swirls in yours came from, because mine looked pretty much like a standard cheesecake.
Love that you enjoyed it, Brody! When you add the cream/vanilla/rootbeer extract you don't want to stir it in – you simply want to pour it into the mixture, and then immediately pour the entire batter into the pan. Hope that helps!
