Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups crushed ice preferably finely crushed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract use pure vanilla
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries washed and stems removed

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving glasses or bowls

Method
 

  1. Place the crushed ice into the blender, filling it about three-quarters full for easy blending.
  2. Pour in the vanilla extract over the ice to evenly distribute the fragrant flavor throughout.
  3. Add the fresh blueberries on top of the ice, distributing them for vibrant bursts of color and fruitiness.
  4. Secure the lid tightly on the blender and pulse gently to start breaking down the ice, listening for that satisfying crunching sound.
  5. Blend on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy, with a slightly slushy texture and visible berry pieces.
  6. Pour the icy mixture into chilled glasses or bowls, letting it overflow slightly for a layered look.
  7. Garnish with a few extra blueberries or a sprig of mint if desired, enhancing visual appeal and freshness.

Notes

To prevent over-blending, pulse in short bursts to keep the crunch. If the mixture is too icy, add a splash of milk or cream and gently blend again to achieve the desired consistency.
