Chocolate Slushie
This chocolate slushie is a creamy, icy blend of frozen bananas, cocoa powder, and milk, resulting in a dense, fudgy texture with a glossy, dark appearance. It’s made by blending frozen ingredients with ice until smooth and frosty, perfect for a comforting cold-weather treat that feels rebellious and indulgent.
Equipment
- High-powered blender
- Measuring spoons and cups
Ingredients
- 2 ripe frozen bananas peeled and sliced before freezing
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder natural or Dutch-processed
- 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup/agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional but recommended
- 1-2 cups ice cubes adjust for desired icy texture
Instructions
- Place the frozen bananas, cocoa powder, milk, honey, and vanilla in your blender.
- Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture looks smooth and combined, with a rich, dark color and a slightly glossy finish.
- Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender and blend again for 20-30 seconds until the mixture becomes icy, thick, and frosty.
- If the mixture is too thick, splash in a little more milk and pulse briefly to loosen it up.
- If it’s too runny, add another handful of ice and blend until the desired icy consistency is reached.
- Check the color—it should be a deep, glossy chocolate brown, with a rich aroma of cocoa and a firm yet scoopable texture.
- Pour the slushie into a chilled glass, and if desired, drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for extra flavor.
- Enjoy immediately with a spoon or a straw, savoring the dense, icy, fudgy richness with every sip.
Notes
For an extra indulgent touch, top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings. This slushie is best enjoyed immediately for maximum icy freshness.
