Equipment
- Blender
- Freezer-Safe Container:
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream chilled
- 1/2 cup milk whole or dairy-free alternative
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce preferably homemade or good-quality jar
- 2 cups ice cubes small or crushed
- pinch salt to enhance flavor
- optional vanilla extract a splash for warmth
Instructions
- Chill the caramel sauce in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly, making it easier to blend.
- Add ice cubes to your blender, filling it about halfway to create a solid icy base.
- Pour in the chilled heavy cream, milk, and drizzle the caramel sauce over the ice. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt and add vanilla extract if using.
- Secure the lid and blend on high for 30 to 40 seconds, listening for the ice to break down into a thick, icy slurry with swirls of caramel forming throughout.
- Stop the blender and check the texture—if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and pulse again. If it’s too runny, toss in a few more ice cubes and blend briefly.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender, then blend again for about 10 seconds to ensure everything is smooth and evenly mixed.
- Pour the thick, velvety slushie into glasses, then drizzle extra caramel on top for a glossy finish and visual appeal.
- Let the slushie sit for a minute or two to settle, then serve immediately for the best icy crunch and rich caramel aroma.
Notes
For an even richer flavor, use homemade caramel and serve with extra caramel drizzle on top. Adjust the ice quantity for your preferred consistency, and enjoy immediately for the best texture.
