Description
A delicious and refreshing ice cream made with Dr. Pepper soda, perfect for a unique dessert experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Dr Pepper soda for reduction
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- ½ cup granulated sugar (optional if soda reduction is very sweet)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- (For No-Churn Version) 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Reduce the Soda: Pour Dr Pepper into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced by half and syrupy. Cool completely.
- Prepare the Base: In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, sugar (if using), vanilla extract, and the cooled Dr Pepper syrup.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover and refrigerate the base for 4 hours or overnight.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled base into your ice cream maker and churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze to Set: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface, seal, and freeze for at least 4–6 hours.
- Serve and Enjoy!: Scoop, top with whipped cream and cherries if desired, and enjoy your homemade Dr Pepper Ice Cream!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use heavy whipping cream instead of whole milk.
- Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the Dr Pepper reduction.
- This recipe can be made without an ice cream maker using the no-churn method.
