DAIRY QUEEN BLIZZARD

Have fun and choose your own flavors by adding in finely chopped Oreo cookies, chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Heath candy bars, Butterfinger candy bars, Smarties, whatever you wish --- all candy or cookies must be chopped and semi-frozen first before placing in the blender --- NOTE; Dairy Queen has a powerful blender/method to make their Blizzard, a conventional home blender may not be quite as thick, if you would like a thicker consistency then place your cup in the freezer for about 6-10 minutes after blending until it reaches the consistency you desire or you may freeze until completely frozen :)

HOMEMADE DAIRY QUEEN BLIZZARD, IMPROVED!



Homemade Dairy Queen Blizzard, Improved! image

I love the Dairy Queen Mint Blizzard....but they're both expensive and deadly. This gives the PERFECT texture...With light ice cream, flavoring of your choices, and skim milk, no less. It is important to use a good quality light ice cream, since it has to end up like soft serve -- I use Edy's Vanilla. Light ice cream actually works best -- more air content in those 'double churned' types means they get better 'Blizzard Consistency'.

Time 6m

Yield 1 Mug, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup low-fat vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4-1/2 teaspoon mint extract
2 -4 drops green food coloring (optional)
2 Oreo cookies, frozen and cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Place ice cream in blender, pack down.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, cold milk and cream will yield the best results. Opt for high-fat or full-fat milk to achieve a rich and creamy texture. Ensure your ice cream base is thoroughly chilled before churning to prevent a grainy texture.
  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters: Placing your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before making the blizzard will help keep the mixture cold and prevent it from melting too quickly.
  • Add mix-ins gradually: To prevent clumping and ensure even distribution, add mix-ins like crushed Oreos, chocolate chips, or chopped fruit a little at a time while the ice cream base is churning.
  • Serve immediately: Blizzards are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store them, place them in the freezer for up to 2 hours. However, the texture may become slightly icy.

Conclusion:

With a few simple ingredients and a bit of creativity, you can easily make delicious homemade Dairy Queen blizzards that rival the originals. Experiment with different mix-ins and flavors to create your own unique blizzard combinations. Whether you prefer classic flavors like chocolate chip cookie dough or want to try something new like salted caramel brownie, the possibilities are endless. So next time you crave a sweet and icy treat, skip the drive-thru and make your own homemade Dairy Queen blizzard instead.
