Method
- 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.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly. The mixture will bubble vigorously; continue whisking until smooth.
- Let the caramel cool slightly until it thickens slightly and stops bubbling. Stir in a pinch of salt for balanced flavor.
- Pour the cooled caramel into a blender, add the milk and ice cubes, then blend on high until the mixture is smooth and icy.
- Check the consistency—if it's too thin, add more ice and blend again until thick and slushy.
- 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.
