I did not make this recipe (yet!) but after reading the reviews, I compared this recipe to my "ice box eclair cake" recipe, which uses similar ingrediants, except it calls for 2 packs of pudding. So either the milk or root beer should be decreased, or another pack of pudding added. I plan to make this in the next 2 weeks, so will update my results then.

After reading other reviews I see I am not alone...the pie was great tasting but would not set up. Does anyone have a suggestion how to make it set up? It was really soupy. I made it for my father on Father's Day, as he loves root beer floats, went to serve it to the family and it was a disaster but yummy! Doesn't look like the picture, how can we make it look like the picture?

Great taste...but the pie was still soupy after 24 hours in the refrigerator. I will try to make again with some additions to make this set better.

Great Taste but the pie would not set firm after 18 hours in the fridge. Something is missing from the recipe?? Maybe some clear gelatin added to the mix? The quality of the root beer plays a big role in the flavor.

This got RAVE reviews from my family and some friends we had over for supper. I wish I had made two! When I make this again, I'll make sure to leave it in the fridge overnight. It was in the fridge for 8 hours during the day, but it still competely fell apart when I took it out. Maybe it needs 12 hours to get really firm? I don't know but it sure was good! Oh, also, I'd make it with 1 cup of root beer instead of 3/4 cup--just to add more of a root beer taste. I used regular root beer.
