\"\"<\/p>\n

My wife rarely reads my reviews, so I\u2019m going to roll the dice and hope she doesn\u2019t see the following statement: If I could marry a member of the pie family, I would get on bended knee and offer a glistening strawberry ring pop to French silk pie so that we could be together forever<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not even a big pie person, but there\u2019s something about that smooth, chocolatey goodness that just gets me. So, I was quite interested in trying Dairy Queen\u2019s new-ish French Silk Pie Blizzard, which is part of the Fall Blizzard menu. It was apparently introduced in 2004 and has been available at various times since, but we\u2019ve never reviewed it. It\u2019s quite possible\u2014even likely\u2014that I\u2019ve had it in the past and forgot, considering I don\u2019t even remember what I ate for lunch today, and I had to check my phone to determine the day of the week. So it\u2019s new to me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I knew I would probably like this Blizzard, but the question was whether I would love it. The list of components was promising: choco chunks, pie pieces, and cocoa fudge with whipped topping. But despite my high hopes, let\u2019s just say this Blizzard is more like a friend rather than marriage material. The chocolate flavor is great, and even a bit silky, at least as silky as you can get for ice cream, and the whipped topping always makes a Blizzard better.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My issue is the pie crust. I\u2019m not sure if my local DQ got a bad batch, but the crust pieces were very crunchy, almost with the consistency of an animal cracker. There was very little of the crumbliness I associate with pie crust, and the pieces were monstrous, with a few being about the size of two Cinnamon Toast Crust pieces fused together. And the flavor was more like a cookie than pie crust.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Again, the chocolate part was wonderful. The cocoa fudge flavor did a perfect job of transforming the vanilla soft serve into chocolatey bliss, and the choco chunks brought an added layer of texture and taste. But the crust pieces just put a damper on the whole thing.<\/p>\n

So I like you, French Silk Pie Blizzard, but I\u2019m sorry to say that I don\u2019t want to marry you. But we can still be friends. And yes, it is you, not me.<\/p>\n
