My movie nights will never be the same now that I know about these KitchenAid Blizzards.
Some food trends are so simple that I feel personally slighted for not thinking of them first. This one got me. I’ve had the same faithful KitchenAid for over 20 years now. It’s powered through endless amounts of buttercream, hundreds of bread loaves, and more German chocolate cakes than I care to admit. But through two decades of mixing, whipping, folding and kneading with my trusty stand mixer, it never once occurred to me that I could use it to make a homemade Blizzard.
What is the KitchenAid Blizzard trend?
This trend has been popping up all over social media lately, with home cooks using their stand mixers to recreate the thick, mix-in–packed texture you’d normally get from a Dairy Queen Blizzard. The paddle attachment mixes ice cream just enough to loosen it into a soft-serve-like texture, then you add the mix-ins and let the mixer do the rest.
Because it’s not just a bowl of ice cream with toppings or a fully blended milkshake, you get the best of both worlds. And you can customize it to your heart’s content. Store-bought or homemade cookies, chopped candy bars, pretzels, swirls of caramel or hot fudge—it all works. Then all that’s left to decide is whether you want to keep it simple or load it up.
