Ingredients
Scale
Essential Ingredients
- 2 cups Mountain Dew soda (chilled)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 tbsp gelatin (dissolved as per package instructions)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Start by chilling your mixing bowl and beaters, then whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream to soft peaks. This creates the fluffy texture crucial for the creamy, airy finish.
- Mix Condensed Milk and Flavorings: In a separate bowl, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. If using gelatin, dissolve 1 tablespoon according to package instructions and mix it in now for a firmer texture.
- Incorporate Mountain Dew: Slowly stir in 2 cups of chilled Mountain Dew soda into the condensed milk mixture, making sure to keep as much fizz as possible for a light mouthfeel.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into your Mountain Dew mixture until fully combined, preserving as much airiness as possible to keep the ice cream light and fluffy.
- Freeze and Set: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight, until firm enough to scoop.
Notes
- Chill all utensils and cream before whipping for better volume and texture.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain fluffiness and avoid over-mixing.
- Use fresh Mountain Dew soda to preserve fizz and light texture.
- Freeze the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystal formation.
- Gelatin is optional but helps stabilize the ice cream and improve scoopability.
