Dr. Pepper Ice Cream--Day 18: Ice Cream Marathon

There are some things that automatically come to mind when you think about someone. 

For instance, when I think of my husband I think of Dr. Pepper.   

He is slightly addicted to Dr. Pepper.


And by slightly, I mean totally.

The whole world knows it.  We’ve had family and friends pass along recipes, candy, and even freezer pops made with Dr. Pepper.

I hear it is a Texas thing and he definitely drinks more of it when we’re back in his hometown than he does usually.

Those 23 flavors are pretty unique so I got curious to see how I could incorporate into some ice cream. 

Reducing it down into ultra-concentrated Dr. Pepper seemed to do the trick!
