Ingredients
  

Root Beer Whipped Cream

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream Chilled for better whipping
  • 2 tablespoons concentrated root beer
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar Can be replaced with a sugar-free alternative

Wrap Ingredients

  • 4 medium flour tortillas Can substitute with gluten-free tortillas
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream Can use dairy-free alternatives
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce
  • 4 pieces maraschino cherries with stems

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Measuring and setting everything out will make the assembly process smoother.
  • In a chilled mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and begin whipping it with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
  • Once the cream starts to thicken, add in the powdered sugar and concentrated root beer. Continue whipping until soft peaks form, then refrigerate.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 10-15 seconds per side until pliable.

Assembly

  • Place a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of each warmed tortilla.
  • Drizzle chocolate sauce over the ice cream.
  • Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the ice cream.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the root beer whipped cream over the ice cream and chocolate chips.
  • Gently fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling, then roll up tightly.
  • Place each wrap seam-side down on a serving plate and garnish with a maraschino cherry on top.

Serving

  • Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut whipped cream and dairy-free ice cream. Ensure tortillas are warmed properly to avoid cracking.
