DQ Pumpkin Pie Blizzard Taste Test Review

Hi my name is Erin and I am obsessed with all things pumpkin spice...

Yes I am basic but fall is my favorite!

Last year Dairy Queen came out with the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard and I jumped on that bandwagon and absolutely fell in love!  I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of this delicious concoction this year.  

Take a look at all this delicious ice cream goodness!

So for review, the basis of this dessert is an ice cream base, pieces of pie crust and what tastes like a piece of pumpkin pie blended in.  Of course it is sprinkled with a blend of spices and topped with whipped cream.  I have had other pumpkin pie based desserts but this one tops the chart.  The pumpkin pie flavor is so rich and has just enough spice and is deliciously creamy.  My favorite part was the crunchy pie crust pieces, I feel like it adds something else to the ice cream instead of it being super creamy and boring.  

Verdict: Go try it!! 

How to Make Cake Balls

Oh my goodness these guys are little balls of deliciousness covered in chocolate and filled with sweet cake goodness.

They are SO easy to make, check them out:

You need:
- box of cake mix (any flavor you want)
- ingredients for the cake mix via the box
- jar of icing (any flavor)
- melting chocolate (any flavor)

What you do:

1. Make the cake according to the directions on the box, let cool.

2. Once cool take cake by pieces and crumble up into a bowl.

3. Scoop 1/2 of the container of icing into the bowl of cake crumbles.  Mix them up until moistened.  Put in the fridge for a few hours or the freezer for about 15 minutes if you are in a hurry.

4. Roll the cake mixture into balls and place on waxed paper.  

5. Melt the chocolate according to the directions on the bag (usually about 30 seconds at a time) and stir.

6. Take the cake balls and dip them in the melted chocolate.  This can be really messy.  It is easiest if you use a fork, spoon or stick so you don't get completely sticky and messy.

7. Place on wrap paper and let harden.  If you are in a hurry you can place in the fridge to speed up this process.

8. Enjoy!

Tip: You can decorate with sprinkles or other things before the chocolate hardens
