It’s a mind-shift from the usual—with playful swirls of fruit, chocolate, or even unexpected ingredients—transforming a routine treat into an adventure of its own. Perfect for sharing (or not sharing), this slushie is a messy, joyful riot in a glass.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups milk preferably whole milk for creaminess
• 3 cups ice cubes freshly frozen if possible
• 3 tablespoons sugar syrup or honey adjust to taste
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for added flavor
• 1 cup fruit or chocolate mix-ins berries, chocolate chips, or fruit pieces

Equipment

• Blender
• Measuring cups and spoons

Method

 

1. Add the milk, ice cubes, sweetener, and vanilla extract into the blender.
2. Pulse the blender several times to break down the ice slightly, creating a chunky, icy mixture that’s not yet fully smooth.
3. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes thick, slushy, and slightly frosty, sounding like crunching ice with a smooth internal texture.
4. Pour in your chosen mix-ins, like berries or chocolate chips, and briefly pulse again to incorporate while maintaining some texture.
5. Stop blending and check the texture—if it’s too thick, add a splash of milk and give it one quick blend to loosen it slightly.
6. Transfer the icy, chaotic milkshake into glasses, using a spoon to help shape the uneven, textured surface if needed.
7. Serve immediately with colorful straws or toppings to enjoy the full playful, crunchy, creamy experience.

Notes

For a more colorful appearance, swirl in fruit purees or food coloring before blending. Best served immediately for maximum icy crunch.
