Ingredients
  

Baja Blast Concentrate
  • 1½ cups (12 ounces) Mountain Dew Baja Blast
Graham Cracker Crust
  • 1⅓ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • Pinch kosher salt
Filling
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • ⅓ cup cooled Baja Blast concentrate
  • ⅓ cup fresh key lime juice
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon teal gel food coloring or as needed
Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • small saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer

Method
 

  1. Simmer the Baja Blast until reduced to about ⅓ cup. Cool completely.
  2. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, butter, brown sugar, and salt. Press into a 9-inch pie plate.
  4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
  5. Whisk together the condensed milk, cooled Baja Blast concentrate, key lime juice, salt, and food coloring.
  6. Whisk in the egg yolks until just combined.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly.
  9. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until firm peaks form.
  11. Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie and serve cold.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Bake the pie a day in advance and add the whipped cream before serving for the freshest presentation.
  • Substitution: Regular fresh lime juice works well if key limes aren't available.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze the undecorated pie for up to 2 months.
  • Troubleshooting: If the filling seems loose, the Baja Blast probably wasn't reduced enough or the pie needs more chilling time before slicing.
