Method
- Combine the granulated sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely, then stop stirring and let it simmer until it turns a deep amber color, creating a rich caramel.
- Remove the caramel from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream until smooth. The mixture will bubble up—keep a close eye and stir until fully integrated. Let the caramel cool slightly until it reaches a warm room temperature.
- Pour the warm caramel sauce into the blender, and add the crushed ice. Secure the lid tightly.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes thick, slushy, and smooth, with a deep caramel swirl running through it. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be icy but creamy and well combined. If it’s too icy, add a splash more caramel or milk to soften. If it’s too runny, add more ice and blend again.
- Scoop the caramel slushie into glasses, and if desired, drizzle with extra caramel sauce or top with whipped cream for added flair.
Notes
Make sure to cool the caramel slightly before blending to prevent splattering. For an extra indulgent touch, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before serving.
