Dr Pepper Ice Cream is a unique frozen dessert that blends the bold, nostalgic flavors of Dr Pepper soda with creamy homemade ice cream for a fizzy, fun treat.

Ingredients

  • Dr Pepper (reduced)
  • Heavy cream
  • Whole milk
  • Granulated sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Egg yolks (optional, for custard style)

Instructions

  1. Pour Dr Pepper into a saucepan and reduce over medium heat until syrupy.
  2. For no-churn: whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold in condensed milk, reduced soda, and vanilla. Freeze for 6–8 hours.
  3. For custard-style: Whisk egg yolks and sugar. Temper with warm milk and cream. Cook until thickened. Stir in reduced Dr Pepper and vanilla, chill, then churn in an ice cream maker. Freeze 4–6 hours.

Notes

  • Always reduce Dr Pepper to intensify flavor and prevent icy texture.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning or freezing.
  • Use airtight containers to avoid freezer burn and maintain smooth texture.
  • Diet Dr Pepper is not recommended due to sweetener breakdown during reduction.
