Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Dr Pepper soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Carefully measured ingredients ready for mixing.
Directions
-
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will give your ice cream a light and fluffy texture.
-
In another bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, Dr Pepper, and vanilla extract until well combined. This combination is what gives your ice cream that signature flavor.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Dr Pepper mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream to maintain creaminess.
-
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight container, spreading it evenly.
-
Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or until solid. For best results, leave it overnight.
-
Scoop and enjoy your creamy Dr Pepper ice cream! Garnish with a cherry or some chocolate sauce for an extra touch.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can use coconut cream in place of heavy cream for a dairy-free version. Just ensure it’s well chilled before whipping.
- Optional Variations: Try adding chocolate chips or crushed nuts for added texture. You could also mix in other flavored sodas to create a unique flavor profile.
- Storage Tips: Keep your Dr Pepper ice cream tightly covered in the freezer to prevent freezer burn. It should stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. If it becomes too hard, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
