Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large vanilla bean split lengthwise and scraped
  • 1 cup milk whole milk or your preferred type
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or adjust to taste
  • 2 cups ice cubes crushed or regular

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Using a sharp knife, carefully split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the tiny seeds with the back of the knife.
  2. Pour the milk into a blender, then add the vanilla bean seeds and the split pod for extra flavor.
  3. Measure in the sugar and sprinkle it over the milk mixture, gently stirring or blending briefly just to combine.
  4. Add the ice cubes to the blender, distributing them evenly around the liquid mixture.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and pulse on high for about 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth, icy, and slightly frosty at the edges.
  6. Check the consistency—if it's too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend briefly again.
  7. Once the mixture is smooth, pour the vanilla slushie into chilled glasses and serve immediately for the best icy texture.

Notes

For a stronger vanilla flavor, let the vanilla pod steep in the milk for 30 minutes before blending.
