Pistachio Rose Cream Slush

Directions

1. 1In a bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, pistachio butter, rose water, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved and the pistachio butter is well incorporated.
2. 2Pour the liquid base into the Ninja Slushi bowl, making sure not to exceed the max fill line.
3. 3Place the bowl into the Ninja Slushi machine and secure the lid.
4. 4Select the MILKSHAKE preset, then set the coldness level to 10 bars for a thick, creamy consistency.
5. 5Run the machine for 25 minutes until the mixture reaches a smooth, slush-like texture.
6. 6Dispense into a chilled glass and top with crushed pistachios and dried rose petals if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Pour your liquid base into the Slushi bowl at room temperature; the machine will chill and churn it into perfect slush in 20-60 minutes depending on your kitchen temperature.
• If your slush comes out too icy or grainy, your base was likely too cold when you started; always pour at room temperature for the smoothest texture.
• Check the consistency at the 45-minute mark by dispensing a small amount; you can let it churn longer if it's still too liquid or stop early if you prefer a softer texture.

Variations

• Swap the pistachio butter for almond butter and add a teaspoon of cardamom for a warm spiced cream slush instead.
• Use half heavy cream and half coconut cream for a lighter, tropical take that still keeps the rose and pistachio flavors front and center.

FAQ

Can I use almond milk or oat milk instead of whole milk?

Yes, either works fine and will give you a slightly lighter result. Stick with full-fat versions for the creamiest texture and best flavor absorption.

What if my slush won't freeze or stays too liquidy after an hour?

Your kitchen is likely very warm, or your base needed more sugar to reach the right freezing point. Try adding an extra tablespoon of granulated sugar before pouring into the machine.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep any extra slush in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week, though it's best enjoyed fresh. You can re-churn it briefly in the Slushi machine if it gets too firm.

Can I make this with less cream to reduce richness?

Absolutely. Try using one part heavy cream and two parts whole milk instead of equal amounts; it'll be lighter while staying creamy and delicious.
