Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream softened for easier blending
  • 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
  • 1/4 cup syrup (optional) such as caramel or lavender for flavor variation

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the vanilla ice cream, ice cubes, and optional syrup into a blender.
  2. Secure the lid and start blending on a low setting, gradually increasing to high until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and icy, about 30-45 seconds.
  3. Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be creamy yet wintry, with tiny ice crystals evenly dispersed.
  4. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, allowing the icy frost to cling to the sides for a frosty presentation.
  5. If desired, drizzle a little extra syrup on top or garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs or a twist of lemon for extra flair.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy the icy, vanilla-scented refreshment.
