In just 5 minutes, you can whip up this iconic dessert using simple ingredients like rich, full-fat vanilla ice cream, a splash of whole milk, and your favorite mix-ins, such as crushed Oreos, M&Ms, or Reese's cups. The key to this recipe is achieving that signature thick and creamy texture—just blend until smooth but still dense enough to hold a spoon upright. Customize your Blizzard with endless flavor combinations, and for an authentic finishing touch, flip the cup over before serving to show off its delightful thickness. Perfect for a quick treat or dessert night, this DIY Blizzard recipe is a must-try for fans of Dairy Queen's signature dessert!
Place the softened vanilla ice cream into a blender or food processor.
Pour in the whole milk to help create a creamy, smooth texture.
Blend the ice cream and milk together on a low setting, pulsing if necessary, until just combined. The mixture should be thick but well-incorporated. Avoid over-blending to keep it from becoming too liquidy.
Add your chosen mix-in (such as crushed Oreos, M&Ms, or Reese's cups) to the blender.
Pulse the blender 2-3 times or mix by hand with a spoon to evenly distribute the mix-ins without breaking them down too much.
Pour or scoop the Blizzard into a serving cup. Use a thick straw or a spoon to enjoy!
Optional: To mimic the Dairy Queen serving style, invert the cup briefly before serving to show its thickness (just be careful!).
