Taco Bell’s Baja Blast Pie is here: price, how to get it, and what it actually tastes like
Taco Bell has turned its cult-favorite soda into a headline dessert. The Mountain Dew Baja Blast pie—a teal, key-lime-style creation in a graham crust topped with whipped cream—debuted nationwide this week in very limited quantities. Early tasters describe a creamy, tropical-lime flavor profile aimed squarely at Friendsgiving tables and social-share moments.

What is the Mountain Dew Baja Blast pie?
Think “tropical lime meets key lime.” The filling leans creamy and sweet-tart rather than sharply citrus, with the signature Baja Blast vibe dialed into a dessert format. The texture trends silkier than a baked custard pie, closer to a chilled, no-bake cream pie. Visually, the pie is unmistakable—bright teal with a generous whipped-cream spiral—engineered to be a conversation piece at gatherings.

Limited extras: the Baja Blast Pie Chiller
Select Live Más Café locations in Southern California and Texas are also offering a Baja Blast Pie Chiller—a frozen, milkshake-like drink that blends pieces of the pie with a vanilla ice-cream base, finished with whipped cream and churro crunch. It’s a small-batch, limited-time add-on designed as a portable spin on the dessert.
How to score one before they’re gone
-
Go early in the day. Stores receive scarce quantities, and once they’re out, that’s it.
-
Use the drive-thru or counter. Delivery apps are excluded from this launch.
-
Plan for transport. The pie is frozen; keep it cold until you’re ready to thaw and serve.
-
Check local participation. Availability, hours, and pricing can vary by location.
Serving tips for your Friendsgiving “statement dessert”
-
Thaw to your texture. For the cleanest slices, serve slightly chilled or partially thawed rather than fully room-temp.
-
Add acidity. A quick grate of lime zest or a squeeze of fresh lime over slices brightens the sweetness.
-
Cut with warm knife. Dip and wipe between cuts for photo-ready wedges.
-
Pairings: Sparkling water with lime, vanilla ice cream, or salted-pretzel crumbs for contrast.
Why Taco Bell made a pie out of a soda
The Taco Bell pie taps into two trends: seasonal “Friendsgiving” shareables and brand-playful, camera-ready foods. By translating a beloved beverage into dessert form—and releasing it as a scarce, whole-pie purchase—the chain turns a novelty into an event. That scarcity, plus the unmistakable color, drives social buzz while giving fans a collectible moment tied to the Baja Blast “mythos.”
