- Add a tight fitting lid to the blender. Blend on medium-high speed for 30-45 seconds or until ice is completely pureed.

Notes
For a Thicker Consistency: Add in extra ice and blend until you reach your desired consistency. You can also add 1 teaspoon of Xanthan gum, which is a natural thickener.
No Sugar Caramel Option: If you want to completely eliminate the sugar, consider using a no sugar added caramel sauce.
