Equipment
Method
- Place the frozen fruit or ice cubes into the blender.
- Add the milk or plant-based alternative to the blender.
- Pulse the blender a few times to start breaking down the frozen mixture.
- Once the mixture begins to loosen, blend on high until smooth and granular, about 30-60 seconds.
- Add the vanilla extract or cocoa powder to the blender and blend again briefly to incorporate.
- Check the consistency; it should be thick, icy, and scoopable.
- Scoop the slushie into glasses using a spoon or ladle.
- Serve immediately with optional garnishes like whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit.
Notes
For a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk; for a thicker texture, use less liquid. Adjust sweetener to taste.
