No, this isn’t Photoshop magic, it’s a real Pepsi product. Before you get too excited, I should tell you that this product is only available in Russia. But it’s also sort of available in the U.S. That’s because “Pepsi Ice Cream” is really the Russian version of “Pepsi Vanilla.” Same recipe, different name! Actually, you can’t get Pepsi Vanilla any more. It’s been discontinued. But you can still purchase its similar-tasting rival, Vanilla Coke.
For the record, Pepsi makes all sorts of interesting flavors only available in other countries. Check out the whole list here, including Pepsi Ice Cucumber (a Japanese version with cucumber flavoring), Pepsi Fire (cinnamon flavored Pepsi sold in Mexico, Thailand and other Asian countries) and Pepsi Blue Hawaii (a pineapple and lemon flavored variety sold in Japan and blue in color).
Speaking of overseas, Turkey Hill Dairy and Turkey Hill Minit Market’s “Operation Hometown Hello” is going very well. In just two weeks, we’ve collected more than 750 pounds of donations (75 boxes) to be shipped to the troops serving overseas. Look for the Operation Hometown Hello box at one of 250 Turkey Hill Minit Markets throughout eastern, central and southern Pennsylvania and make a donation. It’s a shame we can’t send the troops some Pepsi Ice Cream!

My first thought was “An ice cream float in a can? How do they do that?!”
I like ice cream floats – but much prefer the ice cream without soda!
My first thought was “An ice cream float in a can! How did they do that?!”
Ice cream floats are good – but ice cream without the soda is so much better!
Pepsi Vanilla was very good and I’m sorry they discontinued it. I haven’t had an ice cream float in so long, all the comments are certainly making me thirsty for one. That may be the perfect dessert for tonight!
It reminds me of “Laverne & Shirley,” when they’d make milk and Pepsi! I loved that when I was a kid – haven’t had it in ages!
I checked out the whole list. When I saw Pepsi Mojito it reminded me of the Turkey Hill Diet Mojito Ice Tea I purchased last week. It is awesome! I only bought one because I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not. I’m now addicted to it. Anyone who drinks diet tea out there, please try this.
Vanilla Coke is great. Try to mix coke with milk, over ice. Also nice.
Never was adventurous enough to try Pepsi Vanilla. I stick with tastes I know like TH ice cream. MMMMMMM still on the lookout for Peaches ‘n Cream, hope my grocer gets it before the Limited Edition is over.
Those are some weird Pepsi flavors; they do NOT appeal to me at all!
It sounds like a float.
Makes me wonder…If you folks at Turkey Hill were to market your ice cream abroad, what “culturally influenced” flavors would you create?
I agree with Robin, TH’s Diet Mojito Ice Tea is the bomb!
One word…ewwwww.
I have been to the World of Coca-cola in Atlanta where I got to sample coke products from different countries.
Maybe Turkey Hill & Hires(or A&W)should get together.They could market Root Beer Float pop and You could market Root Beer Float Ice Cream.Sounds like a winner to me!
did not like pepsi vanilla did not taste good at all
Maybe TH should come up with a Pepsi-Vanilla Ice Cream Duo.
Oh! It would have been to die for when I drank Pepsi all day long when I was younger! Still might be nice to try!
I wouldn’t mid trying some of the different flavors of Pepsi as long as had some Turkey Hill ice cream to go with it.
A pepsi float with Turkey Hill French Vanilla Yum!
Pepsi Ice Cream…what an interesting idea. But, I agree with a previous comment: Turkey Hill Vanilla and Pepsi would make a great float. (the sweetness of the Pepsi and the amazing creaminess and luscious taste of the Turkey Hill vanilla ice cream. It almost makes you want to run out to the store and buy some.
I like both of the separately – Pepsi when I want a drink – ice cream when I want a treat!
i’m not a soda drinker….but i make up for it by eating more than my share of T.H. ice cream!
I like coke products better anyhow! Those different flavored pepsis from different countries do not even interest or sound appealing to me. I will just stick to eating Turkey Hill icecream at separate times than when i drink soda.
That was a tease!
Ice Cream in a can, just let it melt and drink it. You can hold the Pepsi, just put the Turkey Hill Ice Cream inside.
As a kid, I loved going to the local sweet shop and ordering vanilla coke with my friends. Great nostalgia.

Very interesting!!
Thank you for your thoughtful “Operation Hometown Hero” program. Great idea!!
When traveling overseas, it’s always interesting to visit a grocery store and check out the products that are so different from what we have at home.
This post also brought back childhood memories. At the drugstore where my mom would get her perscriptions, they would always give us coupons to enjoy a free Coke float while we waited for the perscription to be filled. I was so disappointed when they eventually did away with their lunch counter and thus, the free Coke floats.
sounds good for sure
coke does flavored sodas better
I think I would like Pepsi Ice cream
I definitely I would like Pepsi Ice cream
Yes,I love Pepsi.Yes,I love Turkey Hill ice cream.I’m not so sure if I’d like Pepsi flavored ice cream alone.MAYBE Pepsi with vanilla ice cream.or even better yet,how about a Pepsi float………basically the same idea.
I’d try it.
I think if Pepsi brought this back to the US with this name and made it ACTUAL ice cream, people would buy it. Better yet, just have Pepsi come out with their own ice cream. I think that would be interesting.
this not up my alley, moo over for better flavors
Wow…maybe Pepsi should have used that terminology in the US:)
I like Pepsi and Turkey Hill Ice Cream is awesome. What a combination of flavors.
Keep the heat away – have a scoop of turkey Hill everyday!
Root Beer Float is great. We also love (and can never find) “Purple Cow” which is grape juice with vanilla ice cream. I used to make my own when I made grape jelly and had the leftovers which we put over vanilla ice cream. The kids loved it, and still talk about it even though they now have kids of their own.
When I was a kid, 50 years ago, the local soda fountain would serve Chocolate Coke.
They mixed Coke Syrup with Chocolate Syrup. Delicious!
Hey! How about Chocolate Coke Ice Cream.
