REDFORD, Mich. – Calling all Mountain Dew lovers!
With a heat wave on tap this weekend – a local ice cream shop in Redford is kicking off summer with a popular concoction for a limited time.
Dairy Whip located at 26215 Plymouth Road in Redford is serving Mountain Dew soft serve.
The vegan soft serve flavor is available this week only through Sunday, June 22. You can get it as a vegan and dairy-free option or swirl it with vanilla ice cream.
Owner Josh Hutchison says it was a lot of trial-and-error working with chemists to get the vegan soft serve just right. He says it took him more than a half dozen attempts.
Owner Josh Hutchinson told MLive, “it’s Mountain Dew with some stabilizers and a few different things. I finally got the consistency to be perfect. There’s no cream to it, but it comes out and tastes just like ice cream.”
Dairy Whip serves more than 40 flavors of hand-dipped and soft serve ice cream along with floats, flurries, shakes, sundaes and slushies. It’s open from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
