Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade version of the classic Dairy Queen Blizzard that requires no ice cream machine, using simple ingredients to achieve a thick, creamy texture with customizable mix-ins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (high-quality brand like Häagen-Dazs or Breyers recommended)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 to 1 cup mix-ins of choice, chopped (e.g., crushed Oreos, peanut butter cups, M&M’s, brownie bits)

Instructions

  1. Soften the ice cream by letting 2 cups sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes until scoopable but still holding shape.
  2. Chop chosen mix-ins into small chunks about 1/2 inch in size.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the cream mixture into the softened ice cream using a rubber spatula, taking about 2 minutes to keep the texture thick and creamy.
  5. Fold in the chopped mix-ins carefully to distribute evenly without breaking them down too much.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, press down gently to remove air pockets, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  7. Serve chilled but slightly softened for the best creamy experience.

Notes

Do not overmix to avoid melting the ice cream and making it watery. If ice cream is too hard to fold, soften with a 2-minute microwave zap at 10% power. Use bite-sized mix-ins about 1/2 inch for best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For dairy-free versions, substitute coconut milk ice cream and coconut cream.
