How to Make a Blended Blizzard Style Ice Cream Treat with Your Stand Mixer – TIPS:
- Use a stand mixer – I used my KitchenAid Artisan 5qt Stand Mixer
- A Stand Mixer can smooth and soften the ice cream and incorporate the mix-ins perfectly
- Don’t use a blender – Don’t add milk – it’s not a milkshake (unless you want to make a milkshake! lol)
- Use the flat beater (paddle) It’s designed for tough mixing
- Start on low speed – increase a few speeds as needed
- Freeze your mixer bowl for about 10 minutes to help the mixture not melt
- Alternatively if you don’t have room in your freezer or want to make several batches. Swirl the mixer bowl with icy water. Dump out and dry bowl.
- Make sure your toppings are chopped or crunched up or soft.
- Don’t over mix or mix for too long or you’ll have ice cream soup
