Craft A Creamy Dessert By Dirtying Up Your Dr Pepper
BY Peggy Aoki
Dr Pepper is good for more than just sipping from the can. You can turn it into a drinkable dessert by adding a squeeze of lime and coconut cream to make a dirty Dr Pepper.
In soda shop terms, "dirty" means any additions poured into your cup. These can range from purees and juices, creams and creamers, and even spiced syrups in any combination.
In a dirty Dr Pepper, the lime's acid enhances the drink's sweet, cherry-forward flavor, while coconut adds rich background notes that are all carried in the layer of cream.
Just add lime juice to a glass of Dr. Pepper followed by a few pumps of coconut syrup or sweetened coconut cream. Then, float a bit of extra heavy cream on top.
