Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream rich and creamy
  • 1 cup ice cubes crushed or whole
  • 1/2 cup milk whole or skim
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure vanilla

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the vanilla ice cream, ice cubes, milk, and vanilla extract to a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and the ice is fully crushed, about 30-60 seconds. You should see a frosty, creamy texture forming.
  3. Stop the blender and check the consistency—if it's too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a bit more ice and blend again.
  4. Pour the slushie into glasses, watching as it retains a thick, icy texture with a smooth appearance.
  5. If desired, top with whipped cream or garnish with a vanilla bean for added aroma and visual appeal.
  6. Enjoy immediately with a straw or spoon for a cool, creamy treat with a frosty finish.
