Description
A creamy and unique ice cream infused with the bold, sweet flavor of Dr. Pepper soda. Perfect for soda lovers and ice cream enthusiasts alike.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup Dr. Pepper (reduced)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Pour 2 cups of Dr. Pepper into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1 cup. Let cool.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and salt over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick.
- Slowly add the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the reduced Dr. Pepper and vanilla extract.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use diet Dr. Pepper for a lower sugar option.
- Ensure the Dr. Pepper reduction is completely cool before adding to the custard.
- Serve with a cherry on top for a classic soda fountain vibe.
