Easy Homemade Slushee Recipe
Description
The recipe involves dissolving sugar completely in cold water, then adding raspberry extract and a few drops of food coloring to achieve the desired flavor and look. The mixture is processed in an ice cream maker for about 20 minutes to form a slushee texture, softer than ice cream but thicker than a drink. The method depends on an adequately pre-frozen ice cream maker drum to freeze the mixture properly.
This drink can be served right away for a chilled, sweet slush. It is customizable by changing extracts or colors to suit preferences. The straightforward ingredients and equipment make it an accessible homemade alternative to store-bought slush drinks.
Following the ice cream maker's instructions for freezing the drum is essential for success. Storing the empty drum in the freezer when not in use keeps it ready for future slushee or ice cream preparations.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water cold
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp raspberry extract McCormick brand
- 4-6 Food Coloring or other color of your choice, McCormick Neon Blue, drops
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine water and sugar and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Add in McCormick Raspberry Extract and stir well. Follow with 4-6 drops of McCormick Food Coloring to achieve your desired color. Stir well. Pour into your ice cream maker (this recipe was tested in a 1 and 1/2 quart ice cream maker) and turn on and run according to ice cream maker package directions. Let run for approximately 20 minutes or until desired consistency is reached. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Freeze the ice cream maker’s drum for at least 24 hours prior to use to ensure proper consistency.
- Keeping the drum in the freezer when not in use helps it stay ready for making slushees or ice cream.
