Dr Pepper Ice Cream – Barefeet in the Kitchen

Dr Pepper ice cream blends the nostalgia of a soda fountain drink with the indulgence of freshly churned ice cream. The creamy texture balances perfectly with the unique soda taste, creating a refreshing frozen treat.

Dr Pepper Float Ice Cream

When I heard about Blue Bell’s Dr Pepper Float Ice Cream, I immediately filed that under “must try ASAP.” Lucky for me, after just a few attempts, I had an ice cream churning that delivered all of the Dr Pepper float flavors I was craving.

Did you know there are 23 different flavors in Dr Pepper? And while the unique blend of flavors is a closely guarded secret, some commonly speculated ingredients include Almond, Amaretto, Blackberry, Black Licorice, Caramel, Carrot, Clove, Cherry Cola, Ginger, Juniper, Lemon, Molasses, Nutmeg, Orange, Prune, Plum, Pepper, Root Beer, Rum, Raspberry, Tomato, and Vanilla.

I can’t say I’ve ever noticed most of those flavors in the soda, as I’m clearly not a super-taster. But cherry, almond, and vanilla? Those are flavors I can taste in the soda and they ring through in this ice cream.

Dr Pepper ice cream is a quirky flavor that has been a hit with everyone who has tried it so far. It’s distinctly Dr Pepper, while also a treat for anyone who loves cherries as much as I do. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy this ice cream.

Dr Pepper Ice Cream Float

And in case you haven’t thought of it yet yourself, Dr Pepper ice cream makes an absolutely incredible Dr Pepper ice cream float. You’re going to love it.

Just pour the soda into a glass (or a frosted mug, if you’re lucky enough to have one on hand!) and add a scoop or two of the ice cream. Grab a spoon, insert a straw, and dig in. This ice cream is a Dr Pepper lover’s dream come true.

For more unexpected and fun ice cream flavors how about a creamy smooth ice cream bursting with buttery popcorn flavor? Is that too crazy an idea? Absolutely not. One taste is all it will take to make a believer out of you too.

When I had the initial idea for that flavor, it was loosely inspired by my love for this Caramel Popcorn Ice Cream Sundae. I had no clue at the time just how fantastic that ice cream idea would turn out to be.

Have you tried Captain Crunch ice cream or Grape Nut ice cream yet? Cereal milk ice cream is a delicious thing, my friends. Give it a chance.

And if you’re feeling extra adventurous, there’s jalapeno ice cream and mac and cheese ice cream to really confuse your taste buds.
