If you have an ice cream maker, you can make a homemade slushie in about half an hour. Without one, it does take a bit longer, but can still be done.
Today, we used my ice cream maker. You will want to make sure your insert is frozen before you start. I keep mine in the freezer so it is ready when ever I want to use it, but it needs to be frozen for at least 5 hours or according to your manufacturers instructions.
Here are the components of my ice cream maker. Next, you will add the frozen insert to the base and the paddle to the motor top.
Then you will need to assemble the machine together.
Next, you will need your beverage. You will want to make sure the beverage is completely chilled. This is our pitcher of cherry kool-aid I pulled from the fridge. I have done this with chilled soda before as well. Yes, mini-me photobombed me.
Then, with the machine running, slowly pour in your beverage.
Then let the machine continue to run.
This was the slushy after about 10 minutes or so.
After about 20 minutes or so, though I usually let mine run for about half an hour, your slushy is ready to take out of the insert. Here is the finished slushy.
Scoop it into a glass and you are ready to enjoy!
If you don't have an ice cream machine, you can still make this tasty treat, though it will be a bit more solid. Pour your chilled beverage into a pan. The size of the pan will vary depending on how much you are freezing at the time. The higher the liquid fills the pan, the longer it will take to freeze. Put your pan into the freezer. Every half an hour, take the pan out of the freezer and use a fork to scrape the liquid. Continue to do this until it reaches the consistency you like in your slushies.
Add your favorite alcohol to the mix to make your favorite adult slushy drink.
What is your favorite flavor of slushy?
Happy drinking
