Notes
Nutrition
Yes, you can make the changes as you need. Simply let the frozen yogurt or non-dairy ice cream melt and become soft before you use it.
Unless you need to make Blizzards for the whole family, I don’t recommend a stand mixer. It shouldn’t be necessary to bring out the stand mixer. I would also suggest that you avoid the food processor; it would pulverize the mix-ins too much.
I hope you give this classic DQ Blizzard a try! You can make one of these any time of year! Only your imagination limits the possibilities for mix-ins. You may want to try mixing in chocolate chip cookies, frosted animal cookies, chewy brownie pieces, the candy bar of your choice. You really can make DQ’s blizzards at home! Share in the comments your favorite flavor combination!

Does Dairy Queen really use vanilla ice cream? This may seem like an ignorant question, but I normally do not like vanilla ice cream at least by itself. I figured it was vanilla but maybe they added some things to it as it tastes more like milk or cream:
I believe what they serve is not legally defined as ice cream. You can checkout this article at delish. .
Their soft serve is ice milk, which when ran through the machine freezes it to soft serve consistency. It has less milk fat and is a bit healthier tgan regular ice cream. I worked at DQ ehen i was in high school..
This was SO easy and I am only nine!!!! I did not even need a adult
That’s pretty awesome!
I didn’t know these were so easy to make! I like them better when I make them.

Thanks for sharing this. There is not a DQ near me.
This was so good. I liked how thick it was.
