Ingredients
1 cup Mountain Dew (not diet)
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2–3 drops neon green food coloring (optional, for bright color)
Optional topping: citrus sugar crystals or green sanding sugar
Instructions
(Optional) Reduce the soda: In a small saucepan, simmer 1 cup of Mountain Dew over medium heat for 10–12 minutes until reduced by half. Let it cool completely before using.
In a large, chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes using a hand mixer).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, cooled (or fresh) Mountain Dew, and food coloring if using.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Mountain Dew mixture with a spatula until smooth and airy. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover tightly.
Freeze for at least 5–6 hours, or until firm.
Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Serve with optional citrus sugar topping for extra flair!
Notes
Reducing the soda boosts flavor and helps create a smoother texture—but the recipe still works if you skip this step.
For a fun twist, try swapping in Mountain Dew Code Red or Baja Blast.
Food coloring is optional but adds that signature neon-green punch.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Want extra citrus flavor? Add a little lemon or lime zest to the mixture before freezing.
This recipe is great for parties, kids, and soda fans—guaranteed to get people talking!
