- And they're always like (gasps)!
I got it to go upside down.
(upbeat music)
All right.
Do you guys remember being a kid
and going with your parents,
maybe it was after soccer practice
or just on a super hot day, going to Dairy Queen
and getting your favorite flavor of Blizzard?
My favorite Blizzard was always
the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup,
and today, I'm gonna try and flip it.
Hey, guys.
It's Candace, the Edgy Veg,
and Flip It is a series on my channel
where I take traditionally non-vegan dishes
and try to veganize them.
So today, I am going to take
two of the most popular Dairy Queen Blizzard flavors,
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and the Strawberry Cheesequake,
I'm quaking already,
and try and flip it into their vegan counterpart.
All right, if you had a repressed childhood
and have no idea what a Dairy Queen Blizzard is,
it is the perfect softened ice cream
with chunks of your favorite toppings, candy bars,
cake sometimes, mixed in,
and you can dip it upside down and it won't come out.
It's a nice, thick, chunky ice cream,
and it was my favorite thing to have after,
well, my sisters played soccer because I was not sporty
at all.
So we would go after my sisters' soccer games,
and we would get them this fun, hot, hot treat.
(beep)
As a fun, cold treat on a hot day,
you can literally fill these guys
with whatever flavor you want.
You can use different flavors of ice cream.
Today I'm just going to use traditional vanilla
and my favorite toppings.

Also let me now in the comment section below
what your favorite Blizzard flavor was
when you were a kid
or that you're consuming now if you're not vegan.
Hi, we still love you too.
Welcome to the channel.
Maybe now you can make it at home
and not buy it at Dairy Queen.
All right, let's get churnin'?
(funky music)
All right, the first thing I'm going to do
is chop up some peanut butter cups.
I found these vegan dark chocolate peanut butter cups,
completely dairy-free, so I'm gonna use those.
I always asked for extra peanut butter cups
when I was a kid, and they charged,
I don't even remember how much they charged you.
So I'm gonna use lots.
Just roughly chop these guys.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
I'm gonna cut them into quarters
and then I'm just gonna go in and (clicks)
with the knife afterwards.
For the ice cream,
if you have your favorite vegan ice cream
that you like to use, grab that.
If you like to make it at home, you can do that as well.
I'm just using cashew-based ice cream.
I'm using vanilla flavor 'cause I find that that goes
the best with the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
Also, I should say, you can do this in a food processor
or you can do this in a blender as well,
but I like to use my stand mixer to do this.
So I'm going to add some ice cream
to the bowl of my stand mixer,
and I'm just gonna mix that up until it's a little bit soft.
So I'm just scooping.
Ooh.
- [Producer] Accidents happen.
- So I'm just scooping the ice cream into the bowl
and then we're going to mix it up with the paddle
just to soften it.
And then we're gonna add in our toppings.
You need about half a pint to a pint of ice cream
for a Blizzard.
Now I'm going to churn it with my stand mixer.
(whirring)
Okay, now I'm just going to add in the chunks
of peanut butter cup, and we're gonna let that mix.
Don't overmix it too much
because you don't want it to get super soft.
Do lift it up,
and you want all of this good chocolate stuff,
so make sure you grab all of it.
And if you need to, you can scrape down the sides
if you're using a food processor or something.
But the stand mixer's kind of the perfect thing for this.
(whirring)
And it's really that easy.
All right, so we got this DQ cup for authenticity.
I'm just scooping it in there.
I mean, I think it looks exactly like the original.
Oh my gosh, it's so good.
They're always like (gasps)!
I got it to go upside down.
All right, I'd say we nailed it.
I'm just gonna, you know, clean up the sides here.
There it is.
It's beautiful.
I love it.
All right, that's how easy it is
to make a peanut butter Blizzard.
But the second most favorite of mine as a child
was the Strawberry Cheesequake.
And it's just as easy.
All you need is a vegan cheesecake.
You can make it at home.
You can buy it at the store.
Like Sweets of the Earth has one.
Diya has one.
Whatever cheesecake is your favorite, pick that up,
cut it up into a bunch of chunks,
and we're gonna do the exact same thing.
We're gonna put it into the mixing bowl
of our stand mixer, add the crumbled-up cheesecake,
the little chopped cheesecake pieces,
and then, for a swirl, because the swirl is so good,
you can use a strawberry syrup if you have access to it,
but I have a strawberry jam in my fridge,
so I'm just gonna use that.
You want to make sure not to overmix it
with the strawberry jam
because you want it to be a swirl and not incorporated
like all the way through the ice cream.
And that's how easy it is
to make a Strawberry Cheesequake Blizzard.
(funky music)
They are melting fast.
It is hot in here, but oh my god,
I haven't had one of these in years,
since I went vegan, so like nine years?
Holy moly.
I want a big chunk of peanut butter.
Mmm.
It's exactly like how I remember it.
I would definitely try to get a milder ice cream.
Coconut ice cream can tend to have
a really high coconut flavor.
So get something like cashew like what I did.
Or soy.
And then you won't get that overwhelming coconut flavor.
Oh my god.
I could eat this all day.
I see you.
I'm getting to you.
I haven't forgotten about you.
For the Cheesequake, I tried to keep
like really big chunks of cheesecake in here
because that's part of the fun.
Oh my goodness.
It's so rich and decadent.
This strawberry jam is perfect.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
All right, guys.
I think we successfully flipped it.
That was so easy.
You could do this with whatever your favorite flavor is.
Let me know in the comment section below
what your favorite flavor is,
and if you're gonna try this out at home.
Also let me know in the comment section
what food you want me to flip next.
It can be a fast food recipe.
It can be your favorite traveling recipe.
It can be whatever you want.
It can be somebody else's recipe,
because this was so good,
and I think they'll all be as successful, hopefully.
I'm gonna go eat this.
My mouth is ready.
It's ready to be cold.
