Total Time:5 minutes
Yield:2 servings
Ingredients
1 cup cold lemonade
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup ice cubes
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, optional
1 to 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, optional
Lemon slices, for garnish
Whipped cream, optional
Instructions
Add the cold lemonade to a blender.
Add the vanilla ice cream and ice cubes.
Add fresh lemon juice if you prefer a more tart lemon flavor.
Blend on medium-high speed for 30 to 60 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or lemon flavor if needed.
Pour immediately into chilled glasses.
Garnish with a lemon slice and whipped cream, if desired.
Serve immediately for the thickest, creamiest texture.
Notes
Use very cold lemonade and firm ice cream for the best texture.
Don’t add too much ice, as it can dilute the lemon flavor.
For a more tart drink, add another teaspoon or two of fresh lemon juice.
For a thicker frosted lemonade, add a little more vanilla ice cream rather than extra ice.
Store-bought or homemade lemonade can be used.
This recipe is best enjoyed immediately after blending.
