DQ Red Velvet Cake Blizzard Dairy Queen February Blizzard of the Month

[New for 2014] Alright, it's Super Bowl Sundae Sunday and I need to go veg, but first I need to tell you about the excellent blizzard of the month.

Dairy Queen Red Velvet Cake Blizzard

Red velvet cake pieces and cream cheese frosting

So my wife jumped in to her blizzard as I took this shot and instantly threw out an "I like it, it's subtle, but good" type statement. I examine my bespeckled creation and admit it's got my attention. I take my first bite and it threw me off a little, but then I took another bite, and another, and another....

Yeah, I really like this blizzard. Sure, most of the cake pieces got obliterated, but when you get one, man, they are perfect. Soft, fresh, not dried out, and you can actually taste the true chocolatey nature of red velvet cake. All too often it's near-flavorless, red colored cake in these type flavors, but not here. If you get a whole chunk, those chocolate vibes are there and they really hit the mark.

The overall flavor is great too. It's authentic, pleasant, and distinct but not too strong. Like any good blizzard, it tastes like it's name sake, I taste fresh cake here and I'm digging it. Note, I said cake, and not cake flavor or cake batter flavor. Even the cream cheese frosting is subtle. I get that sweet frosting vibe with a hint of cheese, but it's respectful and lets the soft-serve do it's thing.

Nice job DQ, I have no problem recommending that you take your special someone out for this treat (and if you happen to try it with chocolate chips, let me know how it goes!)

2024 thoughts: it's a pretty blizzard when you first get it (since the red velvet has only dyed some of the softserve), but it needs a little extra kick. Before I said it needed chocolate chips, but now I am wondering if cheesecake bites my spice this one up.

Verdict?  Well done
Buy Again?  Yup
