Ingredients
Steps to make Christmas Copycat DQ Blizzards
1. Chill stand-mixer bowl in freezer for at least 10 minutes before.
2. Add fully frozen ice cream to a stand mixer. You want the ice cream fully frozen so it doesn’t get too soft when blending.
3. Blend on medium for about 30 seconds until thick and creamy. Don’t overblend, it will get soupy with too much blending. You may need to adjust time based on your blender and/or ice cream brand.
4. Add in mix-ins and blend only until mix-ins are incorporated. Scrape down sides as needed.
5. Garnish with extra crumbled mix-ins.
Enjoy!
🍨 NOTE: The most important part of this recipe is not over-blending it. Too much blending will make it soupy. Less is more!
