Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk preferably chilled or overnight frozen into ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 vanilla bean vanilla bean split and scraped for seeds
  • 1 cup ice or more, as needed

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pour the milk into the blender and add the sugar. Blend on low until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth. This creates a sweet, vanilla-infused base.
  2. Slice open the vanilla bean and scrape out the tiny seeds. Add the seeds and the split bean pod into the blender. Blend briefly to release the vanilla aroma into the milk mixture.
  3. Add the ice to the blender, filling it to the top. Secure the lid tightly to prepare for blending.
  4. Blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds until the mixture turns icy, creamy, and uniformly frosty. You should see a fluffy, snow-like texture forming.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again until your desired frosty texture is achieved.
  6. Pour the thick, chilly slushie into glasses. The mixture should look creamy with a delicate, snow-like appearance.
  7. Serve immediately for the best frosty texture, or transfer to a chilled container and enjoy later for a softer, more icelike experience.

Notes

You can customize this slushie by adding chocolate chips, caramel drizzle, or a splash of your favorite liqueur for an adult twist. For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk or add a dollop of whipped cream on top before serving.
