Hints and Tips
Each of the recipes below are for approximately 500ml to give you the option of serving size. Make a maximum of 1 litre by doubling the recipe quantities, or 250ml if the recipe quantities are reduced by half. Reduce the operating time of the Slushie Factory accordingly when you reduce the amount of liquids.
For the recipes provided,add all ingredients into the slushie chamber and allow the appliance to operate for approximately 20 minutes to achieve an icy slushie.
Carbonated soft drinks can be used to make slushies. However carbonated diet drinks will not freeze.
For best results, chill ingredients and mixtures in the refrigerator before pouring into the slushie chamber as this will speed up the chilling/freezing process.
When preparing alcoholic drinks such as pinã coladas or daiquiris, better results are achieved when alcohol is added 3 minutes before dispensing. Alcohol does not freeze well and this will alter slushie results if added too early to the other ingredients.
Slushie mixtures with higher sugar content will reach desired icy consistency more quickly than those with milk or lower sugar content.
Artificial sweeteners can be substituted instead of sugar. However, cool the liquid ingredients in the refrigerator for
Fresh fruit drinks should be blended first to achieve optimum results. In addition you may need to add more sweetener as natural fruit sugars lessen in taste when frozen.
Do not use milk products, liquids high in fats such as coconut milk, stiff mixtures such as whipped cream, or frozen liquids as these will over freeze and jam the slushie paddles during operation.
Do not use water only to make plain ice slushies as it will over freeze and jam the slushie paddles during operation. Other ingredients have to be added to the water to prevent it freezing in the slushie chamber.
If an ice layer starts to form around the ice chamber, switch the appliance off immediately and unplug the cord. Further processing could jam the slushie paddles. Disassemble the appliance and reassess the suitability of ingredients for slushie making. Remove the ice layer from around the ice chamber by soaking in warm water.
Do not store slushies in the freezer or fridge.They should be consumed immediately.
Do not operate the appliance longer than required. If after 30 minutes the mixture has not yet achieved a slushie consistency or has thawed again, do not continue.
Possible reasons for mixture not chilling/freezing include:
1.The ice chamber was not cold enough, more ice and salt should have been added
2.The slushie ingredients were too warm
3.Alcohol was added to the mixture too early.
