What is a Blizzard?

A Blizzard is an ice cream treat where soft-serve vanilla ice cream is blended with various mix-ins like Oreos, cheesecake chunks, Reese’s peanut butter cups, cookie dough, and other candy treats, sauces, and flavorings. 

Blizzards are a famous offering from Dairy Queen and are especially delicious during hot summer days!

Ingredient Notes

recipe ingredients in small bowls and labeled
  • Frozen ripe bananas: Use super ripe bananas that have been frozen at least overnight.
  • Coconut milk: Canned coconut milk is thicker and yields a better consistency.
  • Vanilla extract
  • Honey or maple syrup 
  • Frozen strawberries
  • Frozen pineapple 
  • Chopped chocolate 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Place the frozen banana slices, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and honey into the food processor. Pulse or blend the bananas until they become creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This might take a few minutes.
  2. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of coconut milk to help it along. Be cautious not to add too much, as you want a creamy texture.
  3. Once the bananas are smooth and creamy, add in the frozen strawberries, frozen pineapples, and chopped chocolate pieces. Mix with a spatula (do not blend)
  4. Serve immediately for the best result and a soft serve consistency. You can transfer to a container and freeze, but the consistency will change. You will need to re-blend to get that soft-serve texture once it freezes.
