Caramel Slushie

A caramel slushie is a frozen beverage made by blending icy textures with a rich caramel syrup, resulting in a velvety, semi-creaminess combined with crispy ice shards. The process involves freezing caramel-flavored liquid and blending it until smooth, producing a visually appealing, golden-hued drink with a soft, icy consistency.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream for richness
  • 1/2 cup full-fat milk smooth base
  • 1/2 cup caramel syrup adds sweetness and flavor
  • 2 cups ice cubes for freezing
  • 1 spoonful butter for caramel richness, optional

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Pour the heavy cream, full-fat milk, and caramel syrup into a mixing bowl or container and whisk together until fully blended and slightly frothy.
  2. If using butter, melt it gently and stir into the caramel mixture for extra richness.
  3. Transfer the caramel mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer, letting it chill for at least 2 hours or until fully frozen.
  4. Once frozen solid, break the caramel block into smaller chunks and place them in the blender along with the ice cubes.
  5. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth, velvety, and slightly thickened, with tiny ice shards still visible but well incorporated.
  6. Taste and adjust if needed—adding more caramel syrup for sweetness, then blend briefly again to mix.
  7. Pour the slushie into glasses, watching the golden hue and icy texture develop, and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes

For a richer caramel flavor, toast the butter slightly before mixing. The key to a velvety texture is blending until just smooth, avoiding over-processing that melts the ice too much.
