Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups crushed ice preferably finely crushed for smooth blending
  • 1 cup milk use whole milk for creaminess, or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tbsp vanilla syrup adjust to taste for sweetness
  • 1 tbsp sugar optional, for additional sweetness if needed

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add crushed ice, milk, vanilla syrup, and sugar into the blender.
  2. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy, about 30-45 seconds. You should see the ice break down completely and the mixture become frosty and creamy.
  3. Pause briefly to check the consistency, then give it a quick pulse if needed to ensure all ice is evenly blended and the texture is creamy and slushy.
  4. Once blended, pour the vanilla ice slushie into glasses, showcasing its icy, frosty appearance.
  5. If desired, garnish with a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of vanilla powder for an appealing presentation.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the cool, creamy texture of this vanilla slushie.

Notes

For an extra indulgent flavor, add a touch of vanilla bean paste or a splash of vanilla extract. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less syrup or sugar to suit your taste.
