1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup cold milk
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

Steps:

Microwave 3/4 cup root beer in small microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatine over 1/4 cup of the remaining root beer in medium bowl; let stand 1 min.
Add hot root beer to softened gelatine; stir until gelatine is completely dissolved. Refrigerate 1-1/2 hours or until thickened.
