Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for caramel
  • 1/4 cup water to make caramel
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream smooths out the caramel
  • 2 cups ice cubes for blending
  • 1/4 cup milk adds creaminess
  • pinch salt enhances caramel flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let it cook until it turns a deep amber color, smelling caramelized.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly. The mixture will bubble vigorously; continue whisking until smooth.
  3. Let the caramel cool slightly until it thickens slightly and stops bubbling. Stir in a pinch of salt for balanced flavor.
  4. Pour the cooled caramel into a blender, add the milk and ice cubes, then blend on high until the mixture is smooth and icy.
  5. Check the consistency—if it's too thin, add more ice and blend again until thick and slushy.
  6. Pour the caramel slushie into glasses, optionally drizzle with extra caramel for a decorative touch, and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes

Ensure the caramel is cool enough before blending to prevent splatters. Adjust the ice amount to reach your preferred thickness. For an extra decadent touch, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
