Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 to 6 lemons)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Toppings
- Whipped cream (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Lemonade Base: In a pitcher, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves completely. Stir in the cold water and mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Blend Ingredients: Pour the prepared lemonade mixture into a blender along with the vanilla ice cream, ice cubes, and lemon zest if using. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and frosty.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the frosted lemonade and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding a little more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
- Serve: Pour the frosted lemonade into chilled glasses immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Add Toppings: Optionally, top each glass with whipped cream for an extra rich and creamy finish before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute frozen yogurt for the vanilla ice cream.
- While fresh lemon juice offers the best flavor, bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.
- Add fresh berries to the blender for a fruity twist.
