Ingredients

12 ounces Dr. Pepper, cold (1 can)
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy cream, cold

Instructions

Place a 10x5x3 loaf pan in the freezer along with the bowl and whisk attachment of a stand mixer.
(You can also use a or a medium size (2-3 quart) mixing bowl and the beaters of a handheld mixer).
Freeze for 30 minutes.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to a medium size bowl (a separate one from the one in the freezer).
Slowly stir the Dr Pepper into the sweetened condensed milk.
Stir the soda in slowly to help reduce the amount of bubbles. The ice cream will also freeze a bit quicker if the soda is cold.
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 more.
Use a spatula to gently fold the beaten heavy cream into the Dr. Pepper milk mixture1 cup at a time.
Don't stir, just fold gently. This will prevent 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.
Once it's frozen, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Introducing the soda 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.
