REVIEW: Dairy Queen Biscoff Cookie Blizzard
There is almost nothing enjoyable about air travel, unless you like long security lines, flight delays, and people in Group 10 who line up at the gate before boarding even starts. But one thing that helps me take the edge off is the Biscoff cookie many airlines toss out to the plebs in economy. It can sometimes be the only positive experience during a day of flying, and now you can get that feeling without having to listen to a safety demonstration, as Dairy Queen has introduced the new Biscoff Cookie Blizzard as part of the Blizzard Cup lineup.
This Blizzard is about as simple as simple gets. It’s Biscoff cookies blended with vanilla soft serve. That’s it. But sometimes simple is splendid, and that’s the case here.
As much as I like Biscoff cookies, I don’t think I’ve ever actually purchased them at the grocery store. I really don’t know why, because the sweet blend of caramel and cinnamon is delicious. So this Blizzard might be the first time I’ve had a Biscoff without sitting uncomfortably in an aluminum tube. I was really looking forward to this Blizzard, and it delivered as expected.
It was a delight every time I got a significant chunk of Biscoff in a spoonful, but even the soft serve mixed with just cookie crumbs was tasty. Much like a regular Oreo Blizzard, this one is not going to astound you — it’s just cookies and vanilla ice cream — but it is certainly a sweet, satisfying treat.
My only advice is not to dilly-dally as you eat this Blizzard. I guess because of the airy texture of Biscoff cookies, I did experience a bit of cookie sogginess toward the bottom of the cup. That’s just a minor complaint, however, and I hereby declare this as the winner of the Blizzard Cup (even though I’ve only had two of the three in the new lineup).
