Instructions
Reconstructed from classic proportions (source was image-only). The cookbook page contained only a video link ('Mountain Dew Cheesecake | How to Make Mtn Dew Cheesecake') and a thumbnail of a green swirled cheesecake beside a Mountain Dew bottle; no ingredients or method were printed.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar; press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and chill while you make the filling.
- Warm the Mountain Dew and dissolve the lime gelatin in it; let cool slightly.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar until smooth, then beat in the gelatin mixture until fully combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping, adding a few drops of green and yellow food coloring to create the signature Mountain Dew swirl.
- Pour the filling over the crust and refrigerate until fully set, at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Release the springform pan, slice and serve chilled.
