No reviews

A creamy, no-churn ice cream that blends the unique 23 flavors of Dr. Pepper soda with rich, whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk for a nostalgic and refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

14 oz sweetened condensed milk (cold)

12 oz can of Dr. Pepper (cold)

2 cups cold heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Place loaf pan, mixing bowl, and whisk attachment in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill.
  2. In a medium bowl, slowly stir the cold Dr. Pepper into the cold sweetened condensed milk to minimize bubbles.
  3. Remove chilled bowl and whisk, pour cold heavy cream into the bowl, and whip on medium-high speed until slightly frothy, then increase to high speed and whip until stiff peaks form (about 1½ to 2 minutes).
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Dr. Pepper and condensed milk mixture, one cup at a time, using a silicone spatula to avoid deflating the cream.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the chilled loaf pan, smooth the top, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and freeze for at least 6 hours until firm.

Notes

  • For a chocolate twist, add ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips before freezing.
  • Use any freezer-safe container if a loaf pan is unavailable; lining with parchment paper helps with removal.
  • To intensify Dr. Pepper flavor, reduce the soda by simmering before mixing.
  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in foil for up to one month.
  • Allow ice cream to soften at room temperature for easier scooping.
  • Can be adapted for lactose intolerance by using lactose-free dairy alternatives.
  • Vegan alternatives include coconut cream and plant-based condensed milk.
