Ingredients
  

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1 cup Dr. Pepper

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cornstarch

Optional: Chocolate chips or crushed nuts for mix-ins

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, Dr. Pepper, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to mix well.

    In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of the cream mixture until smooth. This will help thicken the mixture.

      Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.

        Once simmering, add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and continue stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

          Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

            Once cooled, cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it's fully chilled.

              Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes. If desired, add chocolate chips or crushed nuts in the last couple of minutes of churning.

                Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

                  Scoop and serve the Dr. Pepper ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy the fizzy flavor!
