Recipe - Fruit Ice Crush Slushee

Serves 15–20 (approximately)
Ingredients

1 litre 100% fruit juice or purée overripe fruits and/or canned fruits
Ice cubes

Method

Add approximately 1 litre 100% fruit juice to a blender jug full of ice cubes. Blend until ice and fruit is crushed into a slurry. (You may need to do this in batches if using a domestic blender.)

Alternatively, purée overripe fruits and/or canned fruits in a blender and freeze in ice-cube trays. To make Fruit Ice Crush Slushee drinks, crush these fruit ice cubes in a blender, adding some juice to make a slurry consistency.

Serve in cups with a spoon and straw.
