Icy Cookie Desserts

This Homade Dairy Queen Blizzard Recipe Rivals the Original

Rather than shelling out five dollars at Dairy Queen for a delicious Blizzard, why not try this homemade Blizzard recipe that lets you make the same, great-tasting cookie frozen treat in the comfort for your own home for a fraction of the cost?

This cookie ice cream recipe cleverly combines ice cream, Oreo cookies and eggs to replicate the original tasty Blizzard. To make this homemade Blizzard, all you need is whole milk, cream, Tahitian vanilla beans, sugar, egg yolks and Frangelico liqueur. While this recipe is still rich in sugar and dairy products, it cuts back on some of the fat from the original recipe without compromising the flavor.

This recipe leaves a fair amount of room for experimentation so try replicating your favorite Blizzard flavors by adding peanut butter cups, cookie dough or strawberry syrup.
