Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk for blending and smooth texture
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked sea salt adds smoky depth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder for a spicy kick
  • 1 tablespoon honey sweetens and balances spice
  • 1 cup ice cubes for chilling and thickening

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Add milk, cocoa powder, smoked salt, chili powder, and honey into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and velvety, with no lumps, and the aroma of cocoa and spices is fragrant.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse a few times to start crushing the ice, then blend on high until the mixture is thick, slushy, and glossy, about 30-45 seconds. The texture should be creamy but with a noticeable icy bite.
  3. Stop the blender and check the texture; if it's too icy, add a splash more milk or honey and blend briefly again until desired consistency is achieved. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again for a thicker consistency.
  4. Pour the slushie mixture into chilled glasses. The surface should be a glossy, thick layer with visible flecks of chili and smoky salt particles for an appealing look and flavor burst.
  5. Garnish with a tiny sprinkle of smoked salt or a chili flake if desired. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the contrast of cold, creamy chocolate and spicy warmth.

Notes

Ensure the ice is fresh and slightly crushed before blending for a smoother texture. Adjust spice levels according to your taste. For an extra smoky flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika instead of smoked salt.
