How to Make Kiwi Watermelon Slushies
The complete list of ingredients, quantities, and instructions can be found in the printable recipe card below.
In a blender, add half the ice, sugar, and diced watermelon. Blend as directed until nice and mixed, and all the ice is broken up. Pour into a container and set aside.
Next, do the same steps with the kiwi, and blend well.
Pour the mixture into a glass. You can layer the flavors, swirl them in, or how you would like.
Does My Fruit Need to Be Frozen
If you would like frozen fruit, go ahead and freeze your fruit the night before, or at least 6 hours. Just dice the fruit up, and place in a container or freezer bag.
Then toss right in the blender frozen. It will add more frozen texture to the slushies. But it is not a have to do step.
Variations to Homemade Slushies Recipe
- Swap kiwi out with another fruit, like strawberries, cantaloupe, etc.
- You can do a straight kiwi slushie or watermelon slushie. Just do all the same fruit.
- If you don’t want to add in granulated sugar, feel free to use honey, agave, or sweetener of choice.
- If you do not want layers of the slush, blend it all at once.
Expert Tips
- Add in food coloring to each fruit to give the slushie layers a more vibrant coloring.
- Use a spoon to gently pour on the different layers of slushies on top of each other to prevent them from mixing. If you pour too fast, it will not create the layered look.
- Make sure the ice gets nice and crushed up to give you a true slushies texture.
- Make this slushies recipe right before you want to serve it up. Otherwise, it will melt and water down the drink.
