Fruit Slushies, Slush Puppies, Slurpees or whatever you call them. They bring back many childhood memories. I couldn't pass a slushie machine as a child without wanting one, although that's probably got something to do with all the added sugar and E numbers making them so addictive.

Method

  1. Step 1

    You will need a blender to make this recipe.

  2. Step 2

    Start by weighing out all of your ingredients. You can use fresh or frozen fruit for these recipes.

  3. Step 3

    Crush the ice cubes (200 g) by putting them into a clean tea towel and smashing them with a rolling pin. This is not essential but its extremely fun and takes some of the stress off your blender.

  4. Step 4

    Place all ingredients apart from the water (40 ml) into the blender and blitz stopping every 10 seconds to scrape down the sides, adding water if needed to loosen it up. I find it usually takes 40 - 60ml of water. Keep repeating this until its as smooth as you like it.

Questions people ask

How many does it serve, and can I change that?

As written it serves 1. Use the scale control on the recipe card to change it: every quantity in the ingredients and inside the method steps updates with it. Seasoning, and anything measured in pinches or splashes, is deliberately left alone.

Can I see the ingredients in ounces and pints?

Yes. The metric and imperial switch on the recipe card converts every quantity, rounded to amounts you can actually weigh or measure rather than to four decimal places. Your choice is remembered for every recipe on the site.

Is it vegan?

Yes, as written. Check the labels on anything shop-bought, which is where animal products tend to hide.
