Step 2 CREAM - Pour the cream through the opening and churn until desired slushie in texture (around 2-5 minutes).

To make this splice slushie in a high speed blender or Thermomix, use 150g/5ozs water and 350g/12.3ozs crushed ice instead of 500g/17.6ozs of water. Add in cordial, simple syrup, lime juice and cream and blend together until smooth. Thermomix: set to 20 seconds, speed #9. Scrape down and repeat if needed.

Simple Syrup Recipe

To make quick simple syrup, dissolve 250g/8.8ozs of sugar in 250g/8.8ozs boiling with a whisk. The water will go cloudy for a second and then clear. Or in the Thermomix set to 5 minutes, 100C speed 2. Chill and store in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Personal Note

Mr NQN loved it when I was testing this slushie recipe out because he would be the recipient of all of the slushies which he happily slurped down. I think he was the happiest man alive during that week.

But if you're married to me then it's not all just endless slurpies. There is also a dark side. I am also the person who will call you to see if you're alive. Sometimes I will check on everyone's breathing when asleep. I am also constantly sending Mr NQN memes and reels about sepsis because I am petrified of catching it. He often jokes with me that my slogan is, "Wound care is very important!" and that it will go on my gravetstone because of the number of times that I say it.

So I feel like at least providing slurpees gives them an upside to being in my family!

So tell me Dear Reader, do you like slushies? What is your favourite flavour?
