Turn your favorite soda pop into soda ice cream with only 3 ingredients! It’s quick, easy and delicious!

It’s still a bit cold and rainy here in Portland, Oregon but we are looking forward to some warm sunny summer days.  One of my favorite ways to celebrate summer is with homemade ice cream or a icy cold bottle of my favorite soda. So why not combine the two!  Today’s Soda Ice Cream Recipe is the perfect combination of cold soda and ice cream.   It may or may not get up to 95 degrees in Portland any time soon but we can still enjoy soda pop ice cream.

Soda Ice Cream Ingredients

This ice cream recipe is easy to make and only requires three ingredients.

  • Soda. Use your favorite flavor. I love orange or red cream soda but any flavor will work.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk.
  • Whole Milk. Whole milk will give you a creamier ice cream then 2 percent or something else.

Flavor Variations

  1. Root Beer. This one totally reminded me of the root beer whirls we use to get at The Spot Drive In in Kenosha, Wisconsin where the girls roller skated out to our car and hung the tray on the window!
  2. Orange. This created a yummy orange creamsicle flavor effect which is one of my favorite flavors of all times.
  3. Black Cherry. We loved this one too! This recipe works with any flavor of soda.

How to Make Ice Cream with Soda

  • Pour four cups of your favorite COLD soda into a bowl. The ice cream will freeze much faster if the soda is cold. If you forget to chill the soda in the fridge, just put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Add in a can of sweetened condensed milk.

  • Add in one cup of whole milk.  I definitely recommend using whole milk.  This is an icy ice cream so the whole milk adds some creaminess.

  • Pour the mixture into ice cream maker and process according to manufacturers directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will homemade ice cream last in the freezer?

Stored in an airtight, insulated ice cream container it will last for a couple of weeks.

Do I have to use an ice cream maker?

This homemade ice cream recipe is designed to be made in an ice cream maker and is not meant to be a no churn ice cream.

What kind of ice cream maker do you use?

I use a Cuisinart 2 qt. ice cream maker. I then transfer the ice cream into this insulated ice cream container to let the ice cream harden up.

How to Serve Soda Ice Cream

Add some whipped cream and a maraschino cherry!

Soda Ice Cream is one of the easiest ice creams you can make and it’s the perfect way to enjoy one of your favorite soda pops! This icy, cold, delicious treat is perfect for a hot summer’s day!  What flavor will you try first?

    Is there something that we could use instead of the sweetened condensed milk? I’m a diabetic so I’m just trying out here to survive. HA HA

        Could you double or triple this recipe? Or would it not sit up right?

          I think you would be fine doubling it if your ice cream maker is big enough.
