We’ve known this day was coming since Taco Bell teased it back in late 2024, but the Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie is finally here! Or, more likely, it was here. The pie was released as a very limited offering on November 6, 2025, and it’s unclear if it’ll ever be offered again. Let’s not dwell on the negative, let’s celebrate what humanity achieved today!

I’m not the biggest Baja Blast fan, but I enjoy key lime pie quite a bit. Since Mountain Dew Baja Blast is so lime forward I never had a doubt that this could work. In fact, several food content creators had already succeeded in similar experiments like the FunFoods channel with a Mountain Dew Cheesecake, lots of other people on Reddit. This seemed like a sure thing, but I also thought that the Baja Blast gelato would be decent – it was awful.

So, I set an alarm for 6:00am on the release date and headed straight for my local Taco Bell. I realized that they were a 24 hour location and had a moment of panic that dozens of people would have beaten me there and purchased all the inventory. It was my lucky day, and I turned out to be the first one to buy one! They received about 24 pies total and didn’t know if they’d ever get more. The pie is $20, is delivered to you frozen in a box with thawing and serving instructions. I saw a lot of people online digging right in, but you should wait at least half an hour for a slice, and probably over an hour for the whole pie.

Appearance-wise, it was okay. The color is almost radioactive teal and might require sunglasses to stare at it directly. There’s a ring of whipped dream dollops around the perimeter, but mine were not very carefully placed. They got smaller and closer to the center as whatever robot or person made their way around. Not a huge deal, but worth calling out. I carved a slice, plated it, and then took a shower while it thawed out.

Once the pie had come to temp it was soft and pudding-like. The graham cracker crust gave out under the weight, but it stayed mostly in pie shape. My initial taste impression was a hit of concentrated Baja Blast, but then rolled into more of a generic and tart key lime pie flavor. I love that. Was it sweet? Of course. You could say that it’s irresponsibly sweet and I wouldn’t argue with you. However, the tartness really carries it through. I would have liked a little more whipped cream but that’s something I could have solved on my own.

I believe in the Taco Bell Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie. If Burger King can carry a Hershey chocolate pie, I’m confident that Taco Bell can figure out how to get slices of the Baja Blast Pie on the permanent menu. It’s terrific.
