Description
A delicious ice cream recipe combining sweetened condensed milk and Dr. Pepper for a unique treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces Dr. Pepper, (cold)
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
Instructions
- Place a 10x5x3 loaf pan, the bowl and whisk attachment of a stand mixer, or a medium size (2-3 quart) mixing bowl and the beaters of a handheld mixer in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to a medium size bowl.
- Slowly stir the Dr. Pepper into the sweetened condensed milk. (Stirring the soda in slowly helps reduce the amount of bubbles when combining. The ice cream will freeze a bit quicker if the soda is cold when mixing into the sweetened condensed milk.)
- Next, remove the mixer bowl and attachments from the freezer.
- Add the cold heavy cream to the cold mixing bowl. Beat on medium high speed until the cream is slightly frothy, about 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue to mix until the cream forms stiff peaks, about 1 ½ – 2 minutes.
- Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the beaten heavy cream into the Dr. Pepper milk mixture, 1 cup at a time. (Folding is a way to gently combine 2 different textures together without deflating the whipped cream.)
- Remove the loaf pan out of the freezer. Evenly spoon the ice cream base into the cold loaf pan. Use an offset spatula, or a silicone spatula to smooth the top of the ice cream.
- Cover tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil and freeze for 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm. (Remember that all freezers cool differently, so you can begin checking the firmness of the ice cream around the 4 hour mark.)
- When you are ready to serve, scoop the Dr. Pepper ice cream into bowls or into ice cream cones.
- Pouring the soda into the cream slowly is key to reducing foam and bubbles, which helps in achieving a smoother texture in the final product. Make sure the soda is cold to speed up the freezing time once it’s mixed.
Notes
- Ensure the soda is cold for optimal freezing.
- Folding helps maintain the lightness of the whipped cream.
