The Baja Blast Pie is a creamy, key lime-style dessert with a tropical lime flavor, inspired by Taco Bell's iconic Mountain Dew Baja Blast soda. Recipes for it typically use either a no-bake cream cheese and condensed milk filling or a simple, Depression-era 'water pie' base that substitutes a traditional liquid with the soda.
The recipe trend spiked because Taco Bell released an official, limited-edition Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie in early November 2025 for 'Friendsgiving' celebrations, creating massive online buzz. Concurrently, the 'water pie recipe' trend surged as people sought simple, viral copycat versions of the dessert that incorporate the soda as a main ingredient.
The pie has been praised by fans of the soda for its 'sweet, tangy, and tastes like summer' flavor, with many embracing its 'bajaluminescent' neon-green color as a fun, chaotic statement dessert. The high demand and limited availability from Taco Bell fueled social media discussion and the rapid sharing of at-home copycat recipes.
