Ninja Slushi Orange Julius Recipe
Description
Creamy, frothy, and bursting with citrus, this Ninja Slushi Orange Julius recipe is an easy homemade copycat of the mall classic — made with just orange juice, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
Ingredients
- 3 cups orange juice, 720 ml orange juice, chilled (or reconstituted orange juice concentrate for bolder flavor)
- 1½ cups whole milk, 360 ml
- ¼ cup granulated sugar, 50 g
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream, optional, for extra creaminess
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the base. In a bowl or pitcher, whisk together the orange juice, milk, sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream (if using) until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Fill the vessel. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Slushi vessel, keeping it between the minimum and maximum fill lines.
- Churn. Close the lid, select the Slushi preset, and press start. Let it churn until it reaches a thick, frosty slush consistency.
- Serve. Dispense into chilled glasses, top with whipped cream if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Equipment
- NInja Slushi Machine
- Mixing Bowl
Notes
- Use chilled ingredients for the smoothest, fastest slush.
- Do not omit the sugar entirely — it helps the base freeze to slush.
- For a stronger, more classic flavor, use orange juice concentrate.
- Make it dairy-free with oat or almond milk; keep the sugar so it still slushes.
