Substitutions
- Milk - You do need to use a higher-fat-content milk for this recipe to work. While using 2% should work out okay, the best option is whole milk. If you want to use lower-fat milk, you should replace the water with additional milk.
Variations
- Oreo Chocolate Slushy – Use black cocoa powder and then garnish with crushed Oreo cookies.
- Mocha Slushy – Swap strong coffee in for the water or add 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder for an amazing frozen mocha slushy.
- Peppermint Hot Chocolate Slushy – Add a few drops of peppermint extract. This is a favorite flavor in my house.
