A few weeks ago I told everyone about the great new book I had reviewed, Dining Out at Home Cookbook 2, by Stephanie Manley. I shared her version of Taco Bell’s Pina Colada Frutista Freeze and her version of McDonald’s Frozen Strawberry Lemonade. Being a fan of yummy ice cream drinks, I was thrilled to find she had included several versions of Dairy Queen’s Blizzards. It’s a bonus that she actually used to work there so she knows exactly how they are made. I found her version of the Turtlette Blizzard, a creamy mixture of chocolate, caramel and pecans, and noticed it only had four ingredients. Woot! I just happened to have all four ingredients on hand since I like to treat myself to an occasional ice cream sundae. Here’s the recipe, plus a couple of adaptions that I added in case you want to change the flavor.
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream softened (Flavor variation: substitute chocolate)
- 2 teaspoons butterscotch topping (or use caramel)
- 2 teaspoons Chocolate Magic Shell
- 2 teaspoons chopped pecans (or use peanuts)
- Place all ingredients into a blender and blend for twenty to thirty seconds. Pour into a glass (or glasses) and serve.
Voila! See how simple the recipe is? I could whip up one of these everyday, if I didn’t mind all the calories. I plan to share Stephanie’s amazing recipe for Peanut Butter Parfait Bars in the upcoming weeks. We tried these recently and they were a major hit with my family. Do you have a favorite Dairy Queen Blizzard flavor? Share it with us! Have you tried making blizzards at home?
Do you know I have never had anything like this as many times as I have been to Dairy Queen. This looks really good!
This sounds yummy! I usually order the Cookie Dough Blizzard. My local Dairy Queen just went out of business, so I might be having to figure out a way to make it at home.
This sounds delicious and dangerous!! YUM!!!!!
mmm this sounds so yummy..love DQ blizzards
yum! this sounds so good. we don’t have a DQ near us but I wish we did. no worries though thanks to your recipe, I can make it myself!
Delicious! For some reason I much prefer buying ice cream out rather than eating it at home although that of course is much less expensive!
Oh my yum!! This is similar to my favorite blizzard from DQ. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never had one of these. Sounds good!
When I am feeling down, Dairy Queen is my go to place! This blizzard sounds really good.
Oh this sounds so good! This is one of my fav’s!
My husband’s favorite at Dairy Queen. I’ll have to give it a go!
I can’t resist caramel in ANYTHING! I must make it, Pam. Delish!
I love it when you share things like this! Going to be trying this one for sure.
Oooh what a neat recipe! I’m such a sucker for chocolate and caramel.
Mmmmmm you are making my mouth water. I am going to try making this for my Hubs.
OH my gosh!! Finally!! I so want this!!
That really is easy to make and sounds to die for-especially when the weather is as hot as it has been!
Sounds really good – I am going to have to try this – I wonder if you can make it without the pecans or peanuts – either way it sounds really good, thanks for posting!
Looks and sounds so delicious. Haven’t had one of these in years. Who knew they were so easy to make. Thanks!
This looks like a lovely summer treat thank you so much for sharing 🙂 x
It is hot here today and I wish that this blizzard was in my hand right now!
What a great time of the year for it! We love DQ and experiment all the time.
Oh my goodness, you are killing me with this recipe. It looks so good!
This is great to make for my son since it is so incredibly hot here and he occasionally needs a special cool treat. 🙂
That sounds SO good, and I am totally intrigued by putting Magic Shell into a smoothie. Does it freeze in the smoothie? Must try this!
YUM! That looks like a perfect summer treat!
Fantastic! I have to try this for the husband! He loves chocolate and pecans! It sounds delicious!
This sounds delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
My husband LOVES this recipe. I think that the Magic Shell ingredient makes it extra good.
