But first, let’s get a little bit into the Mountain Dew history, which is our main ingredient in the recipe.

History

Mountain Dew, perhaps one of the most heavily relied on caffeine boosters, was started by two brothers, Barney and Ally, in the 1940s.

The two brothers ran the Hartman Beverage Co. of Knoxville, a beer and Pepsi Cola bottling plant.

Oddly enough, the two brothers couldn’t find a lemon-lime soda they could use as a mixer for cocktails since their new city only sold soft drinks regionally at the time.

With the help of William Jones from Tip Corp. In Marion, Virginia, they formulated a simple, precise lemon-lime mixer they casually called Mountain Dew.

They later nicknamed the drink moonshine.

They labeled the drink like 7UP style and reserved it for their consumption.

The brothers eventually decided to package their drink in green bottles and began selling it as Mountain Dew in 1946, which was a major flop.

However, the Tri-city Beverage Co. in Johnson City, Tennessee, liked the mountain dew promotion idea, even though the sales were non-existent.

In 1958, Bill Bridgeforth took over the business and came up with a lemonade soda called Tri-city lemonade.

In 1960, finally, the design and flavor of the lemonade soda began to mesh.

He packaged his lemonade soda into Mountain Dew’s green bottles, and the sales hit the roof.

Meanwhile, three years before, in 1957, the Minges Bottling Group, a Pepsi bottler in Lumberton, NC, had purchased the Tip Corp., including the rights to the Mountain Dew brand.

The Minges encouraged its parent company, Pepsi, to take a chance on Mountain Dew.

The Minges family took the idea, and after years of success, the Pepsi-Cola company bought the brand on September 2, 1964.

Today, the mountain dew brand stands at the No. 1 trademark brand for the Minges Bottling Group.

Now, let’s get you straight to the fun part, making the Mountain Dew Ice cream with the least ingredients.

Recipe

We can all agree that the fewer the ingredients means an easy time in the kitchen, but that doesn’t translate to skipping on flavor.

This is straight- to -the -point delicious recipe that anyone can follow and become a pro instantly.

We will add a little fun twist to our ice cream and make a Mountain Dew ice cream swirl.

This is adding 2-3 flavors of mountain dew to get a beautiful and distinctively creamy combination out of the ordinary.

This recipe allows you to get creative and add any of your preferred mountain dew flavors to make your unique ice cream swirl.

Ingredients:

Method:

1.    Start by preparing the flavors of your ice cream, which are the three mountain dew drinks. In a heavy pot, boil each of your mountain dew for at least 10 minutes separately until it reaches 105 degrees Celsius. This step boils down some of the water, making it more decadent and flavorful.

2.    This process will reduce the mountain dew to half its size, leaving you with one cup of each flavor. Now turn off your heat and let it sit till it gets to room temperature. Repeat the same step to the other two flavors.

3.    Grab a bowl that’s been chilling in the freezer (the colder the bowl, the better) for a few hours to blend your already chilled heavy cream. Whisk it up using a hand mixer until it’s nice and firm.

4.    Add in the sweetened condensed milk and fold the two together. Do not over mix. Carefully fold it in using a spatula.

5.    Divide your mixture into three separate bowls equally. After dividing all the ice cream bases into equal parts, start adding each flavor to their respective bowl.

6.    Start with the code red at room temperature, add two drops of red food color (for a richer red coloring), fold gently, and set aside.

7.    Take the other bowls and repeat the same steps. For the bowl with the regular flavoring, add two drops of green food color and one drop of yellow food color to achieve a perfect neon green shade.

8.    Carefully pour each of your mixtures into a freezer-safe container. Take your spatula and give your ice cream mix a nice gentle swirl of different colors.

9.    Take your cling wrap and press it down gently to touch the ice cream base. This will help prevent your ice cream from getting a freezer burn.

10.    Cover your ice cream container with the lid and pop it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight.

11.    Scoop it out and serve.
