Wow! A Blizzard is hitting the East Coast today. Sending positive thoughts to all my friends and anyone else who needs them to get through this crazy storm!

Here's a simple copy cat recipe for the Oreo Blizzard with ingredients you probably already have. You'll love it. As always, use the very best ingredients. Hope you stay warm while you make this frozen dessert.

OREO BLIZZARD

Ingredients

4 cups vanilla ice cream 

8 Oreo Cookies, double stuffed, broken into chunks (it's ok to use regular Oreos) 

8 mini Oreo Cookies (topping) --but if you only have regular, chop them up into tiny pieces.

Directions

Put frozen vanilla ice cream that you've put into a mixing bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly, but not melt. 

Beat the ice cream: Using a hand mixer, beat the ice cream on medium speed until it becomes creamy but remains very thick (about 1-2 minutes). Avoid overmixing, (You don't want this to be too thin). 

Fold in the Oreo chunks: Addbroken Oreo chunks to the bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold them into the ice cream until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix to keep the chunks intact. 

Spoon into 2 serving cups. Top each with mini Oreos or chopped Oreos.
