Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe peaches, pitted and chopped fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired consistency
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder or adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits, then chop them into smaller chunks for easier blending.
  2. Add the chopped peaches into the blender, along with the ice cubes, chili powder, honey, and lemon juice.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high until the mixture is smooth, thick, and icy with a vibrant peach color, about 30-40 seconds.
  4. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it's too thick, add a small splash of water or juice and blend briefly to loosen it.
  5. Pour the slushie into glasses, allowing the icy, fruity mixture to mound slightly above the rim.
  6. Garnish with a small wedge of peach or a sprinkle of chili powder if desired, then serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes

Adjust the chili to your preferred spice level; for extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or chopped fresh chili.
