Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for producing blended dessert products. The apparatus includes a base, a container removably mounted to the base, a cutting member for slicing, chopping and/or grating food products, and a mixing blade in the container for blending the food products once they have been sliced, chopped or grated. In accordance with the method, a frozen food product such as ice cream and a second food product such as cookies, candy and/or nuts are fed to a cutting member where they are sliced, grated and/or chopped and them caused to drop into a container. The food products are then blended within the container by a mixing blade, preferably producing a dessert product having the consistency of soft ice cream that contains chunks and/or slices of other food products.
