Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream (high quality)
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 6 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed
- 0.33 cup mini chocolate chips
- 4 pieces peanut butter cups, chopped
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Place your vanilla ice cream in a large mixing bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes, just until it softens slightly. Do not let it melt completely.
Add the whole milk to the softened ice cream. This will help the blizzard achieve the signature creamy texture. Stir gently with a silicone spatula or spoon to combine.
Fold in your crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, mini chocolate chips, and chopped peanut butter cups. Mix carefully to ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the ice cream mixture on low speed for about 20 to 30 seconds. This aerates the mixture slightly, creating the thick Blizzard texture.
Scoop the mixture into serving cups. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Serve immediately with a spoon. Enjoy your improved homemade Blizzard experience!
