Having enjoyed this Blizzard in the past did not diminish my delight at the sight of a spice covered mountain of whipped cream thrusting far above the confines of its container.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t merely the subconscious overcompensation of the Blizzardista though, as a spoonful of the plentiful whipped cream, pie filling, and crust is integral to capturing the flavor of the genuine article.<\/p>\n<p>The first bite immediately and boldly declares that this is pumpkin pie ice cream. It&#8217;s not as deep or as true to the flavor as I find in the likes of Talenti\u2019s Pumpkin Pie Gelato for example, but that is comparing apples to pumpkins and this Blizzard more than captures the essence of its namesake. The only trick this treat plays is leaving the cinnamon notes more ghostly than corporeal, especially when the crust comes into play. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dairy-Queen-Pumpkin-Pie-Blizzard-3.jpg?resize=540%2C600\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Pumpkin Pie Blizzard 3\" title=\"Dairy Queen Pumpkin Pie Blizzard 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"540\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what dark pact DQ made to prevent the pie crust pieces from becoming soggy, but it was worth every drop of blood.
