A creamy and fizzy treat made with Dr. Pepper soda, this ice cream delivers the nostalgic taste of the beloved soft drink in a frozen, scoopable dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup Dr. Pepper (not diet)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla until sugar is mostly dissolved.
  2. Slowly stir in the Dr. Pepper (it may fizz; stir gently to avoid overflow).
  3. Chill mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
  4. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–30 minutes).
  5. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  6. Scoop and serve, optionally topped with maraschino cherries or a drizzle of soda syrup.

Notes

  • Use original Dr. Pepper for the best flavor; diet versions may not freeze well.
  • For a stronger soda flavor, reduce 2 cups of Dr. Pepper to 1 cup by simmering and cooling before adding.
  • No-churn option: Whip the cream to stiff peaks, fold in sweetened condensed milk, then gently mix in soda and freeze.
  • Flavor pairs well with cherry, vanilla, or chocolate syrups.
