Homemade Dairy Queen Blizzard, Improved! image

I love the Dairy Queen Mint Blizzard....but they're both expensive and deadly. This gives the PERFECT texture...With light ice cream, flavoring of your choices, and skim milk, no less. It is important to use a good quality light ice cream, since it has to end up like soft serve -- I use Edy's Vanilla. Light ice cream actually works best -- more air content in those 'double churned' types means they get better 'Blizzard Consistency'.
