Dr Pepper Float Pie Recipe
A smooth, creamy frozen pie with a concentrated Dr Pepper flavor blended into a vanilla pudding base and folded into whipped topping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Dr Pepper divided (do not use diet or zero)
- 1 (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip)
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- whipped cream optional for garnish
- maraschino cherries optional for garnish
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup of Dr Pepper into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 15–20 minutes, until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Stir occasionally and let cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, reduced Dr Pepper, and the remaining 1 cup Dr Pepper until fully combined.
- Slowly pour in the half and half while continuously whisking until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
- Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
- Top with whipped cream and maraschino cherries before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Store the pie covered in the freezer for up to 5 days. If the pie sits out and softens, return it to the freezer until firm before serving again. For best results, slice just before serving and keep any leftovers frozen.
- Regular Dr Pepper is required for this recipe, as the sugar is necessary to properly reduce the soda and create the concentrated flavor.
