Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen ice cubes preferably pre-frozen for best texture
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for deep chocolate flavor
  • 1 cup milk any variety; dairy or plant-based
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for enhanced flavor
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen ice cubes to your blender, creating a base that will give the slushie its icy texture.
  2. Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the blender to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth chocolate flavor.
  3. Pour in the milk, which will blend with the cocoa and ice to create a creamy yet icy consistency.
  4. Drizzle in the vanilla extract and your choice of sweetener to taste, balancing the bitterness of the cocoa with sweetness.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and pulse a few times to start breaking down the ice and mix the ingredients.
  6. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth, velvety, and ice is finely crushed, with a slightly frosty appearance.
  7. Pause to check the consistency—it should be thick and slushy but pourable. If too thick, add a splash more milk and pulse briefly again.
  8. Pour the chilled chocolate slushie into glasses, watching the icy swirls form as you transfer it from the blender.
  9. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa or a few chocolate shavings for visual appeal.
  10. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the velvety, icy texture and rich chocolate flavor right away.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder or add a touch of espresso powder. Adjust sweetness to your preference, especially if your sweetener is more or less concentrated.
