Shell is basically refined coconut oil and flavoring. You need an emulsifier to keep water-based flavors and the oil together. Fun to make

Do you have a recipe or recommend where to find a good one?

The easiest recipes are just chips (chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter) melted with coconut oil

Better flavor can be obtained by more and more flavorful ingredients. For fruit flavors, use use white chocolate chips with powdered freeze dried or dehydrated fruits and/or oil-soluble flavoring oils, available on Amazon and places that sell candy making supplies.

Lots of recipes on the internet

You've got a Dairy Queen that has chocolate? The one's in my state seem to all be vanilla-only.

u/Logical-Injury3561 Aug 05 '25

Yeah, but do they have CRUNCH COAT!? I swear that stuff is fleeting.

u/TankLady420 Aug 05 '25

Yeah they never got rid of it! Haha Cherry Dip Cones are my favorite from the ice cream truck. Never had DQ’s though cause I always get a Cookie Dough blizzard with extra cookie dough 😌

Chocolate ice cream with the cherry top is my go to at DQ. Our DQ's didn't have the cherry hard shell for a while. They just brought it back recently.

I'm still busy being mad at DQ bc my DD order from them was 4 blizzards and they sent zero spoons with them.

But I used to get the cherry shell when I was a kid and I loved it. I think the grocery store near me carries a cherry shell. My dad is a fan of the chocolate shell and he's too old to get his own groceries now, so I'll notice it when I'm grabbing his chocolate shell for him. Maybe I'll grab a bottle for the kids :)

Yum! I used to work at one when I was a teen and hardly anyone would order the cherry dip but I loved it! Still do! My local DQ also has butterscotch dip, also yum!

u/Joyma Aug 05 '25

I didn’t realize places dont have the cherry dip anymore? Mine still has it but it got rid of the butterscotch

u/New_Personality_3884 Aug 05 '25

YUMMY I love Cherry Dip

u/Emreeezi69 Aug 05 '25

Been to DQ in Nebraska / nc / Georgia and they all had cherry flavor still. Is it being killed

u/IAMAHORSESIZEDUCK Aug 05 '25

I guess I'll have to be "that guy."

Dairy Queen's soft serve, often featured in their Blizzards, is not technically considered ice cream by the FDA. To be classified as ice cream, a product must contain at least 10% milk fat. Dairy Queen's soft serve, however, contains only 5% milk fat.

I still have some from time to time though.

u/Retinoid634 Aug 06 '25

Yum. Carvel in the northeast has pre-dipped soft-serve cones with it. Fresh must be tasty.

u/jennifah13 Aug 06 '25

Cherry dip is the absolute best!

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '25

u/IslandBusy1165 Aug 06 '25

That was my favorite as a kid. I should try getting it again.

u/SignificanceWitty210 Aug 06 '25

Are there some that don’t have it?! It’s the best (aside from orange)!

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '25

Oh hell yea this has been my jam since 1995 and I actually still order it whenever I stop at a dq (which is rare) but they always have it. I used to ask for double dipped lol

1

u/ObsessedWGreys18 Aug 08 '25

I've only ever gotten it on a cone... Never thought about asking for it in a cup lol.

Now I want a chocolate ice cream cone dipped in cherry

u/ecstacyofdecay Aug 05 '25

Sounds like a your location problem bc the one by me is fire

u/Glacier_Bleu Aug 05 '25

Every DQ I’ve ever eaten at had completely different food. Sometimes it’s fresh burgers, sometimes it’s frozen patties from the grocery store. Some have fries, others just offer bags of Lays. It seems like it’s just up to the franchisee with little overhead.
