The pie features a graham cracker crust, a Mountain Dew Baja Blast gelatin center and a whipped cream topping.

Taco Bell Baja Blast Pie Release Date: When to Expect It Nationwide
While Taco Bell hasn’t announced an official release date, the Baja Blast Pie is expected to arrive around Thanksgiving, which falls on Nov. 27 this year.
Whether you’re a certified foodie or just someone hitting the Taco Bell drive-thru at 1AM, the Baja Blast Pie is bound to catch your eye on the menu — especially if you’re the adventurous type.
And let’s be honest: if you’re ordering Taco Bell in the middle of the night, you’ve already proven you are.
Look for the new pie to roll out nationwide around Thanksgiving, across Taco Bell’s more than 8,100 U.S. locations.
And just imagine showing up to Thanksgiving dinner with a dozen slices of Baja Blast Pie instead of the pumpkin pie you were supposed to bring.
