Ingredients
1 cup Mountain Dew (cold, not flat)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
1 teaspoon lemon or lime zest (optional, for a citrus kick)
Neon green food coloring (optional, for vibrant color)
Candy bits or popping candy (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and Mountain Dew. Stir in the lemon or lime zest and food coloring, if using.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Mountain Dew mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined and smooth, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top. Cover tightly.
Freeze for 5–6 hours, or until firm.
Scoop and serve in cones or bowls. Top with candy sprinkles or popping candy for a fun, fizzy finish.
Notes
Use cold ingredients for the best whipped texture.
Add food coloring sparingly; a few drops go a long way for that neon green pop.
For a flavor boost, add a splash of lime juice or citrus extract.
Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
Store in the freezer, covered tightly, for up to 2 weeks.
