Main Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces Dr. Pepper, cold
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- Prepare the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with the cold Dr. Pepper. Stir gently until fully blended, ensuring that the soda is thoroughly incorporated without losing too much carbonation.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This will give the ice cream its light and fluffy texture.
- Fold the cream into the base: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the Dr Pepper and sweetened condensed milk mixture. Use a spatula and gentle folding motions to maintain the whipped cream’s volume and avoid deflating the mixture.
- Freeze the mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the ice cream to set completely.
- Serve: Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop and serve immediately. For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if it becomes too hard.
Notes
- Use cold Dr Pepper and chilled heavy cream to achieve better whipping and texture.
- Gently fold to keep the air in the whipped cream, resulting in a light, creamy ice cream.
- This is a no-churn recipe, so no ice cream maker is required.
- If you prefer a stronger soda flavor, slightly reduce the sweetened condensed milk and increase Dr Pepper accordingly, but avoid thinning out the mixture too much.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals.
