Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
Sweeteners and Base:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cold water
Optional Addition:
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Craft a zesty lemonade foundation by vigorously whisking freshly squeezed lemon juice with granulated sugar and cold water until the sugar crystals completely dissolve, creating a harmonious citrus blend.
- Allow the lemonade mixture to chill in the refrigerator, letting the flavors meld and intensify for a crisp, refreshing base.
- Select premium vanilla ice cream and add it to a high-powered blender alongside the chilled lemonade mixture.
- Pulse and blend the ingredients on high velocity, transforming the liquid into a velvety, frothy concoction with a smooth, creamy texture.
- Evaluate the drink’s consistency, adding a few ice cubes if a more glacial and thicker beverage is desired, then re-blend until achieving the perfect frosty composition.
- Carefully transfer the luscious frosted lemonade into chilled serving glasses, creating an elegant presentation.
- Enhance the visual appeal and flavor profile by optional garnishing with a delicate lemon wheel or a cloud-like dollop of whipped cream.
- Serve immediately to preserve the drink’s optimal temperature and luxurious, silky consistency.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting sugar levels in the lemonade base, ensuring a perfect balance between tartness and sweetness.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a more vibrant, authentic flavor that elevates the entire drink’s taste profile.
- Experiment with different ice cream varieties like low-fat, dairy-free, or frozen yogurt to accommodate various dietary preferences and create unique flavor combinations.
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the frosted lemonade colder for longer and maintain its creamy, refreshing texture when serving.
