Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen fruit or ice cubes preferably fruit for flavor, or just ice cubes for a more neutral slushie
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based alternative adds creaminess to the slushie
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey optional, for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for vanilla flavor
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder for chocolate flavor, optional

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen fruit or ice cubes into the blender.
  2. Add the milk or plant-based alternative to the blender.
  4. Pulse the blender a few times to start breaking down the frozen mixture.
  5. Once the mixture begins to loosen, blend on high until smooth and granular, about 30-60 seconds.
  6. Add the vanilla extract or cocoa powder to the blender and blend again briefly to incorporate.
  7. Check the consistency; it should be thick, icy, and scoopable.
  8. Scoop the slushie into glasses using a spoon or ladle.
  9. 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.
