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!

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
At first I thought YUCK. But the more I thought about it, I would try it.
Not a Pepsi fan but make it with Coke and I would be all over it.
I agree Coke Ice Cream sounds pretty good. Glad to hear that Operation Hometown Hello is going very well. Way to go Turkey Hill!
Wouldn’t that taste like a float, kinda. Sounds good to me!!
well, pepsi isn’t one of my favorites, but wouldn’t it be kinda’ like a float like robyn said? guess it would be ok, but i’ll just stick to the floats instead of travelling to russia.
That doesn’t sound very appetizing to me, but I would be willing to taste Pepsi ice cream, if it were offered to me.
Now I have to go make an Ice Cream Soda!
I’d rather a root beer ice cream drink. Yum!
So Pepsi Ice Cream is the same as Pepsi Vanilla….hmmm, I’ll have to get the lowdown on that from our Russian daughter-in-law. I love Vanilla Pepsi – no wonder I haven’t seen it lately; didn’t know they stopped making it. It was great to make sodas with TH Vanilla ice cream. Now I’ll have to resort to buying Vanilla Coke.
Pineapple and lemon Pepsi does not sound good, bu Pepsi ice cream sounds interesting
A real ice cream float is much better than fake flavoring in soda any day.
This makes me think Turkey Hill should try a “Coke Float” ice cream — someone already tried a Root Beer Float flavor and I bet Coke Float would be a hit!
Coke – no Pepsi!!
Great idea with your Operation Hometown Hello. Thanks for remembering our troops and giving the rest of us a way to show we care.
Coke – no Pepsi!!
Great idea with Operation Hometown Hello. Thanks for giving the rest of us a way to show we care.
It sounds good but I prefer Coke too!
Sharon, TH does have a root beer duetto. Yum yum.
Mmmm, Pepsi Ice Cream… Guess I will have to make a trip to Russia…
Pepsi float, like root beer floats, are great with TH vanilla! A real fun old-fashioned summer treat!
I’m a HUGE Pepsi fan, but there is no way I would drink anything with cucumber.
It did seem surprising to have ice cream in a soda can. Leave it to the Japanese to have some “interesting” flavor like cucumber!
sounds interesting… i thought i saw vanilla pepsi the other day.
not the same as an ice cream soda made with philly vanilla turkey hill though.
I wouldn’t like ice cream flavored soda…
I’m a Pepsi girl, but cucumber… YUCK!
Ok…not fair….Russia? Sounds good.
I learn so much from this blog!
Thanks for teaching me so many new things–Pepsi Ice Cream, who knew?
mmmm… I like Vanilla Coke!
OMG i was sooo excited i love pepsi and i love ice cream too so that sounded really yumm! so happy about hometown hero toooo!!!!! Good luck with it
K bye
i learn new things every day but i would like to no if there is any new flavs comin out???????
This is wild. What fun!
Awww, can’t we have some of the cool flavors? What is wrong with us? Not adventurous??? That would be neat!
Mmmm…the name Pepsi Ice Cream makes me want to have it for dessert! Now, if I could only order my favorite ice cream flavors with the drink, that would be great!
I like Vanilla Coke. Looks like its time to try it in a float.
I got so excited when I saw this photo and recognized the cyrillic alphabet and russian words on the top of the can. They after reading it was only found in Russia I was so ready to book a trip (especially because I took 5 years of Russian language in school!) But after reading a few lines later that it is jsut pepsi vanilla I frowned. Trip canceled! But it did give me a good idea for a dessert tonight…a delicious pepsi float with turkey hill vanilla bean ice cream = yum : )
Pepsi Ice Cream sounds awesome.
Some of the flavors list were not very good sounding I am more a plain Jane when it comes to my drinks I don’t even like flavoring in my coffee
I rather have Coca Cola Ice Cream — much better!!!
Bring it on!
Here’s to ice cream! *takes a sip*
Instead of cucumber substitute pickels.
Not a Pepsi girl, Coca-Cola is much better…haven’t had vanilla Coke though, sounds good, I like cream soda, so vanilla Coke would be good.
Love Pepsi! Great work your doing for the troops wish I had a Turkey Hill store near me so I could help!
I am a Milatary Family (Ohio National Guard) and am completely blown away by Turkey Hills generousity in helping out Our Men and Women in Uniform.. I’ll continue to buy your product even if it costs more… because it means a lot that your here for Us! Great Job!
Wow this Pepsi sounds amazing. I would love a Pepsi float with Turkey Hill ice cream, delicious!
It’s a shame that we can’t get all the flavors of soda that are available worldwide.
We have already had a pepsi float, instead of using rootbeer we used Pepsi.
It was really good try it
i prefer cream soda floats and pepsi for drinking plain
interesting.
Good Morning Turkey Hill fan
That is nice, but I am staying with Turkey Hill vanilla Ice cream,If I wanted Pepsi Ice cream…I will buy Turkey Hill vanilla ice cream and add my own ingredient to it.
Isn’t that just like making a root beer float, only with Pepsi or Coke and yummy Turkey Hill Vanilla? Mmmmmm!
I prefer coke products. But I think it sounds yummy.
Sounds like an ice cream float is in order.
I LOVE Pepsi products but none of those crazy flavors,offered in other countries, EXCEPT the Ice Cream one,,sounded appealing! Hey Ernie, how bout Pepsi/Vanilla Duetto?
I’m game for trying that Hawaiian version with pineapple and lemon, but the others, I’ll let someone else be the guinea pig.
I was never a fan of the pepsi flavored soda, cherry flavored for me!
I’m a Coke addict, and love the vanilla and cherry Coke flavors. I might try the cinnamon or blue hawaii flavors, but I’m pretty much a purist when it comes to flavoring of things.
Glastnost with Turkey Hill; perfect together!
Thanks for the Turkey Hill coupons, too. They sure are budget stretchers.
Ice cream and soda go together perfectly.
I loved Pepsi Vanilla…. it’s a shame they don’t have it anymore. Thank goodness for Coke Vanilla. Its perfect for a ice cream float.
Interesting product!
Pepsi Vanilla was nice, but oh-so-sweet! But a Pepsi float, made with vanilla ice cream? Heaven!
Some Wawa’s have a machine now where you can go in and make your own yummy Diet Coke with Vanilla. I think I am becoming addicted to it. Add a scopp of Turkey Hill ice cream and you will become addicted too!
I would try the pepsi van. ice cream. I tried Rootbeer float ice cream and it was good. I personally would have my ice cream in a dish or cone and soda on the side. Linda
Cola (or Rootbeer) and ice cream float, is much better than just the beverage alone.
I’m like Coke Vanilla with my Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
The soda companies must now be hiring us seniors in their marketing department. Back in the 50′s and before there were local luncheonettes and soda fountains where they would add a dab of another flavor to the cola drink like cherry or vanilla or even the 2 cent plain (seltzer). The best thing about those long gone places was what they did with ice cream which now a days are chains that have a standard boring menu.
We like to have Turkey Hill Vanilla with rootbeer. Not a big fan of Pepsi in this house.
I have not had a float in a long, long time. I like my Turkey Hill straight up.
I’ll stick with ice cream over soda any day.
The thought of pepsi ice cream or perhaps other soda flavored ice cream sounds like an interesting idea to an ice cream lover but as a non soda drinker vanilla Pepsi doesn’t thrill me.
Nothing beats a Root Beer Float with vanilla ice cream!
This was definatley a tease. I think I may just have to have an bowl of ice cream to make up for it.
I don’t drink much soda, but Turkey Hill Ice Cream…….I Love !
I love Pepsi, and would give that flavor a try. I do make my floats with Pepsi and I wanted to let Awilda know that pepsi vanilla is still available in the Pittsburgh area.
What a difference it makes when you add “ice cream” to a product.
Our organization sent 1,515 bags to the troops the today! It would be great if we could send them ice cream, but we send them other goodies(we can only send chocolate in one of our 3 mailings because of the weather.)
why not justmake a pepsi float? barbara
Vanilla Coke is good, but I’d rather be eating vanilla ice cream!
Thanks TH and everyone who is supporting our troops…I’m a Pepsi Fan,but I had an opportunity to visit the Coco Cola Building in Atlanta and was able to taste the differnt flavors they make for different countries. Some were very good and others …I quess if you lived in that country they probably tasted good… I would like to try the Hawaii flavor and the cinnamon one also
There is nothing better than a Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean/Pepsi float. Those two flavors just taste great together.
Vanilla colas are ok but don’t remind me of ice cream
Gotta find the Vanilla Coke flavor…yummmmy!
I wrote a letter to Pepsi when they discontinued Pepsi Vanilla…so they sent me coupons for other Pepsi products!
Why do companies try to jazz up their beverages? Was their a great call for it by the public? Keep sodas simple. But keep providing us with the various selections of Turkey Hill ice cream.
Not a soda fan so the idea of pepsi ice cream doesn’t really do anything for me. I love the operation hometown hero work that you do for our troops overseas! Way to go!!!
Nah, just bring on the ice cream!
if it really was ice cream I would try it but I am a Coke person and probably will stay a Coke person. new ice cream flavors are always intersting to me.
This sounds positively ghastly.
SORRY, I NEVER LIKED THE PRODUCT TO BEGIN WITH.
NO COKE-PEPSI!!! I own Pepsi stock & like Sue’s idea of Pepsi/Vanilla Duetto like having an ice cream soda or float in one!!! GO PEPSI!!!!
Haven’t had an ice cream soda in a loooong time. Might be a good night for the whole family to have one or two or three, etc.
I agree, a good ice cream soda would be nice to have today!
It’s not for me……
i would just as soon add TH french vanilla ice cream to my pepsi as have the pepsi that way, this way you get the best of both worlds.
I don’t even want to try it. Both root beer and Pepsi taste nasty to me. I’m a Coke Classic drinker.
I’ll take my vanilla in Turkey Hill Ice Cream please!
Since you can’t send them the TH ice cream, nor the pepsi ice cream, why not send the rival. Vanilla coke? I am sure that they would enjoy that almost as much!
at Penn State we have an ice cream called brown cow, which is root beer flavor ice cream and vanilla ice cream, which is delicious. I think it would delcious if Turkey Hill made this coke or pepsi (im not biased) product.
I’ll stick with a root beer float.
I am a true Pepsi and Turkey Hill fan, have been making my own floats with Vanilla bean and pepsi for a long time. I also put a dab of vanilla bean in my cup of coffee….delicious!
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.

as a kid i loved pepsi so why don’t you start making pepsi ice cream and send me a half gallon or so. I believe i would love the taste.
Yours in ice cream
Roger Dennis Johnson
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.
