Dairy Queen Ice Cream Menu 2026: Every Item with Prices, Calories & Allergens
Dairy Queen has been serving soft-serve since 1940. Today, the DQ ice cream menu spans five categories — Cones, Blizzards, Sundaes, Novelties, and Ice Cream Cakes — with over 30 items and prices ranging from $1.49 to $30+.
This guide covers every item with its price, calories, ingredients, allergens, and gluten status so you can order fast and smart.
The Dairy Queen ice cream menu features over 30 frozen treats with prices ranging from $1.99 to $6.99 across five main categories: Cones, Sundaes, Blizzards, Novelties, and Ice Cream Cakes. Nearly all items contain milk and soy. Most Blizzards contain wheat.
