Sunshine Brings Blizzards: DQ’s New Summer Menu
With summer heat, comes cold treats. If you’re not in the loop, Dairy Queen recently released their new line of Summer Blizzard and Ice Cream desserts. This year’s summer menu includes flavours that will appeal to the whole family! If you like chocolate, peanuts, caramel, and fresh fruit, Dairy Queen’s new menu will have something for you.
The corporation released its newest list of menu items on April 3. For many, this release was the perfect way to kick the winter blues.
The top flavours this season will get you thinking of brighter and much warmer times, and will give your taste buds a much-needed shock of seasonal change.
Our ambassadors have decided on a list of fan favourites from this summer’s sensational menu, that will help you navigate your way through all the trending options.
Must haves at DQ this summer:
#1: Orange Creamsicle Dipped Cone
Customers are flocking over the new orange creamsicle dipped cone at Dairy Queen this summer. You have the option of getting your vanilla or chocolate twist-cones covered in a delicious orange creamsicle dip. If you enjoy regular orange creamsicle iced treats, this is an absolute must-have this season.
Opting for a chocolate dipped cone rather than the traditional vanilla cone is best if you’re going for the chocolate covered orange effect. Enjoy Terry’s Chocolate Orange during the Holidays? This would be the best option for you.
All cones can be purchased in children’s extra small, regular, and large sizes. So whether you are looking for a small sample-sized taste, or looking to enjoy a larger portion to share with that special someone, there is something for you!
#2: Peanut Butter, Oh Henry! Blizzard
This twist on a classic chocolate-peanut butter themed blizzard is definitely going to be a fan favourite during the summer months. Made traditionally with vanilla ice cream, this blizzard comes equipped with Oh Henry! Bar chunks, and is made with chocolate and peanut butter sauce blended in. If you are a lover of chocolate and peanut butter, this is a must-have for you! The salt-sweet of the peanut butter, peanuts and chocolate, mixed with the grounding vanilla ice-cream, will speak to all your taste-buds. Unlike most blizzard treats at Dairy Queen, this one is not too sweet, and comes with the perfect balance of flavoured ice cream, and chocolate bar bites. If you enjoy sweet and salty, this is the perfect summer treat for you!
#3: Brownie Dough Blizzard
Chocolate lovers unite! This chocolate concoction is perfect for sweet-tooth’s everywhere. If you are a lover of brownies and chocolatey goodness, this new blizzard treat will be calling your name. Made with chocolate ice cream, mixed with chocolate sauce and scattered with brownie dough bites, this new summer treat will have you wanting more with every spoonful you take. The brownie bites in this blizzard are soft, decadent, and mouth-watering.
If you are not quite sold on the intense chocolate flavour of this blizzard, you can also get this frozen treat made with vanilla ice cream.
#4: Summer Berry Cupfection
Adding a new twist to the summer menu line-up, the Cupfection series at Dairy Queen will surely have you coming back for more. The newest treat at the restaurant chain is full of cupcake pieces, fresh berries, whipped cream and ice cream deliciousness! Each ingredient in this concoction will have you feeling like the cold summer months never existed. This DQ treat is full of fresh fruit and delicious flavours that will have your taste-buds dancing with every bite. Unlike the traditional flavours and treats at Dairy Queen, the Cupfection dessert is in a league of its own and has customers hoping that it will be a permanent staple to the regular menu.
If you haven’t tried the newest DQ summer menu flavours, these are a few of the must-haves you will have to dive into during the warmer months. There truly is no other flavour palate like this one anywhere else.
