Place 16 ounces of lemonade, and 2 cups of ice in a blender. Blend until the ice is crushed completely. Place about two tablespoons of strawberry ice cream topping in the bottom of a glass, and then pour frozen lemonade over the strawberry topping.

Butterfinger Blizzard Cake

BUTTERFINGER BLIZZARD CAKE
Dairy Queen Copycat Recipe

1 quart Butterfinger Ice Cream
20 whole Oreos, crushed
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16 oz)  jar hot fudge sauce (plus more to drizzle on top)
1 quart vanilla ice cream
4 regular size Butterfinger candy bars , crushed

Take out the Butterfinger ice cream to soften.

Line a round springform pan with plastic wrap. Stir together the crushed Oreos and melted butter. Firmly press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of the lined pan and place into the freezer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the hot fudge jar into a pan of simmering water to warm slightly.

Remove the pan from the freezer, and scoop the softened ice cream in small spoonfuls evenly over the crust. Spread with a spoon dipped in warm water to fill in any holes and to smooth the top of the ice cream. Pour the entire jar of sauce over the ice cream, quickly smoothing the top. Freeze for at least one hour.

Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer to soften for about 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the freezer and quickly spoon the vanilla ice cream over the fudge sauce, again smoothing with a spoon dipped in warm water. Press the crushed candy bars into the top of the soft ice cream, cover with foil, and freeze for at least 8 hours, or up to a week.

Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before unmolding and slicing. Serve drizzled with more chocolate sauce and topped with whipped cream!

Notes:  With this basic recipe you can use any ice cream/candy combinations you would like.

• The Chocolate Xtreme Blizzard Cake uses chocolate ice cream with chocolate bits inside and is topped with small brownie chunks.
• The Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Cake uses vanilla and peanut butter ice cream and is topped with chunks of peanut butter cup candy.
• The Smores Blizzard Cake uses vanilla ice cream and is decorated with chunks of graham crackers, mini marshmallows and bits of chocolate candy bars.

You get the idea.  See the sidebar Blizzard of the Month section to get more ideas for creative ice cream cakes.

Turtle Waffle Bowl Sundae

Vanilla soft serve inside a waffle bowl coated in chocolate covered with caramel topping and pecans.

TURTLE WAFFLE BOWL SUNDAE
Dairy Queen Copycat Recipe

store bought waffle cones
Magic Shell chocolate sauce
vanilla ice cream
milk
caramel ice cream topping
chopped pecans

To make the soft serve:  Decide how many sundaes you want to make and put the desired amount of ice cream needed into a bowl.  Allow this to sit out on the counter top to thaw for 10 - 15 minutes.  Add a small amount of milk to the ice cream and stir until you get the right consistency.

Chocolate coat the bowls:  Smucker's makes a product call Magic Shell which magically hardens to whatever you put it on.  All you have to do is drizzle it onto the waffle cones and it dry in seconds.

Assembly:  Put your ice cream into to prepared waffle bowls then top with caramel sauce and pecans.





Notes:  The Joy Cone company sells these waffle bowls nationwide and can be found at your local Walmart.  The Magic Shell and Caramel Sauce will be found in the ice cream toppings section.

The Magic Shell can also be used to make Dairy Queen Chocolate Coated Cones.

Banana Split

BANANA SPLIT
Dairy Queen Copycat Recipe

Serves 1-2

1/2 cup scoop vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup scoop chocolate ice cream
1/2 cup scoop strawberry ice cream
1 large ripe banana
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (or hot fudge)
2 tablespoons strawberry ice cream topping (or fresh strawberries)
2 tablespoons crushed pineapple
whipped cream
cherries

Line up ice cream scoops next to each other in an oval deep dish or a banana boat. Cut the ends of the banana off (about 1/4 inch) while still in the peel. Slice in half longways. Pop each half of the banana out of the peel onto each side of the ice cream row, pressing down and in a little so it'll stay put.

Top the vanilla ice cream with the pineapple, the chocolate with the chocolate syrup and the strawberry with the strawberry sauce. Top each scoop with some whipped cream and a cherry for each.
