Essential Kitchen Equipment
Directions
Step 1 Start by cutting the watermelon into small ice cube-sized pieces and freezing them for 2-4 hours until solid. This ensures a smooth blending process without the watermelon sticking to the blender’s sides.
Step 2 Once frozen, combine the frozen watermelon cubes with sweetener and carbonated water in a blender, and blend on high for 10-15 seconds until you achieve the desired slushie consistency.
🌀 Mixing Pro Tip
If your slushie is Too Thick and sticking to the sides of the blender, simply add a little More Sparkling Water. This will help loosen up the mixture, ensuring a smoother consistency and easier blending.
🥤 Serving Pro Tip
Enjoy the slushie Immediately after blending for the best texture and flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time for a party?
Yes, you can prepare all the ingredients ahead of time and keep them chilled or frozen until you're ready to serve. However, it's best to blend the slushie right before serving to ensure the freshest taste and texture.
Can I add multiple servings into the blender at once?
If you're making multiple servings, it's better to blend them in batches instead of all at once. This allows the blender more room to blend efficiently.
Can I make this slushie without a blender?
No, a blender is required to make this slushie.
Storage Tips
While it’s ideal to enjoy the slushie right after making it for the freshest taste and texture, refrigerating any leftovers will help slow down the melting process and maintain its flavor.
