Dairy Queen’s famous Choco Brownie Extreme Blizzard. The dessert makes you pause and savor every bite as waves of chocolate goodness melt in your mouth.

How to make Choco Brownie Extreme Blizzard

The Choco Brownie Extreme Blizzard® Treat is a mouthwateringly chocolate-packed dessert from Dairy Queen—perfect for chocolate lovers seeking an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

For the Blizzard Base:

• Vanilla ice cream (softened): 4 cups
• Cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons
• Milk: 3 tablespoons

For the Add-Ins:

• Brownie pieces: 1 cup
• Chocolate chunks: ½ cup
• Chocolate fudge sauce: ½ cup

Optional Toppings (if you want to take it up a notch):

• Whipped cream
• Shaved chocolate or additional brownie crumbs

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream, cocoa powder, and milk. Mix until fully incorporated and the ice cream takes on a rich chocolate flavor.
2. Add the Chocolate Fudge: Gently swirl in the chocolate fudge sauce. You can fully mix it for even flavor or leave streaks for bursts of fudgy goodness throughout your Blizzard.
3. Incorporate the Add-Ins: Stir the brownie pieces and chocolate chunks into the ice cream mixture. Make sure they’re evenly distributed so every bite is packed with chocolaty surprises.
4. Serve Like a Pro: Transfer the mixture into serving cups. Top with whipped cream, extra brownie crumbs, and a sprinkle of shaved chocolate—whatever your heart desires!
5. Freeze for Texture (Optional): For a firmer Blizzard, pop your cups into the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Tips and Tricks

• Choose Quality Ingredients!: Homemade brownies or premium-quality chocolate chunks will elevate your Blizzard to Dairy Queen-level perfection.
• Experiment with Add-Ins: Feeling adventurous? Add crushed Oreo cookies, caramel drizzle, or a dash of espresso powder for a mocha twist.
• Blend Smoothly: If you prefer the signature Dairy Queen “upside-down Blizzard” consistency, use a powerful blender to achieve a smoother, thicker mix.
• Serve Immediately: The Blizzard is best enjoyed fresh, so don’t delay in scooping it into bowls—or eating straight from the mixing bowl (we won’t judge!).

What to serve with

The Choco Brownie Extreme Blizzard is the ultimate dessert treat—decadent, creamy, and packed with chocolatey goodness. While it stands perfectly well on its own, pairing it with complementary sides can elevate your dessert experience even further.

1. Warm Brownies

To complement the cold, creamy texture of the Blizzard, pair it with warm, fudgy brownies. The contrast between the chilled Blizzard and the warm brownies creates a luxurious and comforting bite.

Suggestions for Pairing:

• Classic Chocolate Brownies: Stick to traditional brownies for that rich chocolate flavor.
• Nutty Brownies: Add walnuts or pecans for a crunch that contrasts the Blizzard’s smooth consistency.
• Slice the brownies into bite-sized pieces and serve them alongside the Blizzard so your guests can enjoy them together.

2. Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Add a touch of elegance by serving chocolate-dipped strawberries on the side. The fresh, juicy sweetness of the strawberries cuts through the richness of the Blizzard beautifully, creating a balanced dessert experience.

How to Make Quickly:

• Wash and dry fresh strawberries thoroughly.
• Melt dark or milk chocolate and dip each strawberry halfway into the chocolate.
• Let them cool on wax paper until the chocolate hardens.
• Serve these on a small plate next to the Blizzard for a pop of freshness and color.

3. Cookies and Biscuits

A plate of cookies—especially chocolate-based varieties—works great as an accompaniment to this Blizzard. You can dip them directly into the Blizzard or enjoy them on the side as a crunchy texture contrast.

Best Options:

• Chocolate Chip Cookies: Classic and simple but always a crowd-pleaser.
• Double Chocolate Cookies: For the true chocoholics out there.
• Shortbread Biscuits: A buttery, slightly salty contrast to the Blizzard’s sweetness.
• Feeling creative? Crumble some cookies over the Blizzard before serving for added crunch!

4. Milkshakes or Coffee Drinks

Pair the Blizzard with a delicious drink to complete your dessert spread.

Ideas for Drinks:

• Classic Chocolate Milkshake: If you’re going for an over-the-top chocolate experience, serve a chilled milkshake alongside the Blizzard—double the decadence!
• Vanilla Latte or Mocha Coffee: A warm latte or coffee drink complements the cold Blizzard and provides a sophisticated finishing touch for adults.
• Hot Chocolate: Amp up the chocolate indulgence with a cup of creamy hot cocoa topped with whipped cream.
