AVOID MY DISASTER (You’re Welcome)
- FORGOT to chill the milk? The slushies turned watery fast—use frozen milk or ice cubes instead.
- DUMPED the Oreos in last minute? They don’t crush well—blend in stages for best texture.
- OVER-TORCHED the whipped cream? It melts instantly—top with store-bought or cold homemade instead.
- SPILLED the syrup on the blender? It sticks and burns—clean immediately to avoid flavor mix-ups.
QUICK FIXES THAT SAVE YOUR DAY
- When the mixture is too thin, splash in more crushed cookies to thicken.
- Patch icy patches by blending in a handful of frozen berries or bananas for extra creaminess.
- Shield with a lid if the blender starts to splatter—less mess, more chill.
- When flavor feels dull, add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of salt for depth.
- Crack open a fresh can of sweetened condensed milk to sweeten instantly if needed.
