Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups milk whole milk for creamy texture
• 3 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds flavor

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Freezer
• Blender

Method

 

1. Pour the milk into a mixing bowl and whisk in the sugar and vanilla extract until fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
2. Pour the milk mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
3. Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still slightly soft.
4. Remove the dish from the freezer and scrape the frozen parts with a fork, breaking into smaller ice crystals and mixing everything back together for a consistent slush.
5. Repeat the freezing and scraping process every 15 minutes until the mixture is thick, icy, and scoopable, about 15-20 minutes total.
6. Once the mixture reaches a thick, icy consistency resembling a slushie, transfer it to a blender and pulse a few times to create a smooth, evenly crushed texture.
7. Pour the blended slushie into tall glasses, garnish if desired, and serve immediately with a straw or spoon for a refreshing treat.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, add a few drops of almond extract or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before freezing.

This milkshake slushie is a playful way to enjoy a classic flavor with a frozen twist. Its cold crunch and rich aroma are perfect for beating the summer heat or just reliving childhood memories in a new form. It’s simple, quick, and endlessly customizable — a refreshing break from more complicated desserts.

As the season heats up, having a go-to icy treat that feels both nostalgic and exciting can make all the difference. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best recipes are the ones you can throw together and still feel proud of serving. Keep the freezer stocked, and enjoy the chilly magic whenever the craving strikes.
