Updated: Jun. 30, 2022
Yep, the Cotton Candy Blizzard is back on the menu.
Summer’s here, which obviously means it’s time for peach lemonade margaritas, summer recipes and more. DQ kicked off spring by revealing the Fruity Blast Dipped Cone, and they’re set to make summer even better with the new Summer Blizzard Treat Menu! Dairy Queen brought back some classic summer flavors, but there are three brand-new Blizzards as well!
DQ Now Has Six Summer Blizzards
You read that right. Dairy Queen Summer Blizzards are finally here, and of course, the Cotton Candy Blizzard is one of ’em. Each flavor is as mouthwatering as the last. The menu has something to satisfy all fruit fans and chocolate lovers, so no one will be left out.
- Oreo Dirt Pie: This brand-new Blizzard is made with Oreo cookie pieces, gummy worms and fudge crumble, all blended with classic DQ soft serve. It’s all our childhood dreams rolled into one.
- Caramel Fudge Cheesecake: Hello, cheesecake pieces and fudge-covered salty caramel pieces!
- Cotton Candy: An ice-creamy twist on the popular fair food with pink and blue sprinkles hidden throughout layers of that trademark DQ soft serve.
- Girl Scout Thin Mints: Your favorite cookie pieces are blended with refreshing mint and DQ’s signature soft serve for a cool treat that’s perfect to beat the heat.
- Nestle Drumstick with Peanuts: Yup, another childhood favorite gets the DQ treatment with crispy, chocolate-covered Drumstick waffle cone pieces and chopped peanuts blended with soft serve.
- Caramel Drumstick with Peanuts: Why stop at just one Drumstick Blizzard Treat? This one rounds out DQ’s Drumstick Duo and features chocolate-covered Drumstick pieces, peanuts and caramel topping blended with soft serve.

You'll Love Our Dairy Queen Copycats, Too
Inspired by: Original Cheeseburger Signature Stackburger
Two mouthwatering burger patties stacked high with toppings like melted cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard. Our smash burger recipe is just like DQ's Original Signature Stackburger—and maybe even better.
Inspired by: Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Treat
These rich chocolate peanut butter shakes will make you feel as if you're sitting in your local Dairy Queen. But since you're the one whipping it up, you can add as many Reese's cups as you heart desires!
Inspired by: Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso
Serve up warm pretzel sticks straight from the oven. Don't forget the cheese sauce! To make it zesty just like DQ's, add diced jalapenos and green chiles.
Inspired by: Ice Cream Round Cake
You don't have to be a baker to make this ice cream cake for your next celebration! This ice cream cake recipe is inspired by the DQ classic—made with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, chocolate ganache and a thick layer of chocolate cookie crumbles.
Inspired by: Chili Dog
The very thought of a hot dog dressed in chili makes us giddy. Just add slightly melted cheese to get that straight-from-the-drive-thru taste.
Inspired by: Caramel MooLatte
You can easily indulge in a MooLatte at home anytime. This copycat recipe will give you the extra caffeine to get you through your day.
Inspired by: Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Here's our take on the Crispy Chicken Sandwich from Dairy Queen. We know everyone says theirs is better than the original, but ours really is.
Inspired by: Banana Split
Serve up this classic Dairy Queen staple at home! We promise it's not as intimidating as it looks. Top scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream with sauce, whipped cream, strawberry slices and bananas. Sprinkle a few nuts on top for good measure, too.
Inspired by: Cheese Curds
DQ's cheese curds are the ultimate in delicious comfort food. Dip them in ranch dressing, ketchup or barbecue sauce for the full experience.
Inspired by: Strawberry Sundae
A simple scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with strawberry jam makes for the perfect treat. We like adding a handful of chocolate chips and chopped nuts to our sundae.
Inspired by: Chicken Strip Basket
You can skip the drive-thru and make these golden chicken fingers in your own kitchen. They're finger-licking good!
Inspired by: Strawberry Shake
No matter what the temperature is outside, there's nothing quite like a cool strawberry shake to finish a meal. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream for the finishing touch.
Inspired by: Onion Rings
These Dairy Queen-inspired onion rings are a healthy alternative to the deep-fried version. But don't worry, they're still as crispy as ever!
Inspired by: Mint Chip Shake
Yup, we even have a copycat recipe for DQ's latest (and limited time) release: their Mint Chip Shake! Ours even uses up a handful of Thin Mints...talk about yum.
Inspired by: Hot Fudge Sundae
Our hot fudge sauce always turns out smooth and yummy—just like DQ's. The dark chocolate flavor, with a hint of rum extract, is not overly sweet but will still satisfy a chocoholic's cravings when served over vanilla ice cream.
Inspired by: French Fries
There's nothing like fresh-cut, fresh-cooked french fries. This recipe you can make at home is so much better than any fast-food variety.
Inspired by: Cherry Misty Freeze
Blend together a homemade Cherry Misty Freeze for a cool and refreshing treat. It's sure to hit the spot on both warm and cool days alike.
