Oreo Blizzard Recipe
Make your own Oreo Blizzards with only 3 ingredients.

Dairy Queen Style Oreo Blizzards

Many of you can relate to late night DQ runs back in the day. The Oreo Blizzard was and still is my all time favorite thing on the Dairy Queen menu.

Yeah, they now have grilled chicken salads and a whole slew of other current menu offerings. But my weakness will always be the good old Oreo Blizzard.

This DQ Style Oreo Blizzard is obviously a no brainer. It takes 3 ingredients and 5 minutes. If you’ve got a carton of ice cream and some leftover Oreo cookies, you’re in business…

Use your favorite vanilla bean ice cream to make Blizzards.

How to Make Oreo Blizzards

  • Get some of your very favorite vanilla bean ice cream. The better quality your ice cream, the better your Blizzard will taste.
  • Select 7 very lucky Oreo cookies. I realize 7 cookies sounds random, but we tried 6 and we tried 8. It turns out 7 was the magic number.
  • Add a bit of vanilla extract for a big boost of deliciousness. You already know it’s going to be incredible by now.
  • Important tip: you may need a double batch if you’ve got more than a couple of ice cream fans around.

This DQ Style Oreo Blizzard is creamy, decadent, and the ultimate warm weather treat. It's incredibly easy, fun, and worth every bite. 
Prep Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 5 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients  

  • 2 cups vanilla bean ice cream
  • 7 Oreo cookies
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: Extra Oreo cookies for garnish

Instructions

  • Blend: Be sure your ice cream is fully frozen before starting. Press ice cream to the bottom of a heavy duty blender. Blend a few seconds, scraping sides down if needed; blend just until ice cream is creamy and smooth, but don't overdo it. 
  • Pulse: Press Oreo cookies into the ice cream; add vanilla extract. Pulse a few times until crumbs are mixed in, to your liking.
  • Serve: Divide into individual glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with additional cookies, if desired.

Notes

Much of the blending time will have to be done by eye, as every blender and ice cream brand is different. Take care not to over-blend. 
Feel free to switch up your add-ins. Try M&M's, frozen blueberries or strawberries, frozen cookie dough, or leftover brownies.
As for a heavy duty blender, This Ninja is what I've used for years to make Blizzards and smoothies.

    I found it difficult to blend the ice cream for some reason, but it turned out great if not better than DQ. I added a little chocolate syrup.

      So glad it turned out great for you!

  • Tag a friend for this easy and delicious homemade salted caramel sauce! Nothing artificial, just pure goodness.✨ Follow 👉"@chewoutloud" for more delicious recipes! Save this post: Ingredients List 👇🏼 1 cup granulated sugar 6 TB unsalted butter, sliced into 1-inch pieces and softened ½ cup heavy cream 2 tsp flaky sea salt Instructions: In a deep saucepan, place sugar in an even layer. Heat sugar over medium-high heat, whisking frequently. Once sugar starts melting down, whisk continuously until all the clumps are melted into liquid (this can happen quickly, so watch carefully that the sugar doesn't burn. See video in original article for visual.) Immediately turn heat down to medium and insert candy thermometer into the melted sugar; gently stir until liquid turns reddish-brown in color — the minute your thermometer reaches 350F, slowly add the butter — caramel will bubble up, so be careful. Continue to gently stir until fully melted; try not to let mixture splash up the sides of the pan. Once mixture is smooth, immediately remove pan from heat. Carefully pour in the cream and whisk until a smooth thick sauce forms. Whisk in the flaky salt. Let sauce cool to almost-room temp before drizzling over dessert. Store leftover sauce in airtight glass container in fridge for future use.
