Ingredients
For Frosted Lemonade:
- 6 cups vanilla ice cream
- 3 cups high quality lemonade (or homemade lemonade, see notes below)
For Homemade Lemonade (Optional):
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (approximately 6-10 lemons)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups cold water
Instructions
- Blend One Serving: In a blender, combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream with 1 cup of lemonade. Blend on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Repeat for Additional Servings: Repeat the blending process to make two more servings. If using a larger blender, you can blend multiple servings at once by adjusting ingredient amounts accordingly.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the frosted lemonade into glasses and enjoy right away for the best creamy texture and refreshing flavor.
- Make Homemade Lemonade (Optional Step): Juice fresh lemons until you have 1 cup of lemon juice. The number of lemons needed typically ranges from 6 to 10 depending on their size.
- Sweeten Lemon Juice: Mix 1 cup lemon juice with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Dilute Lemon Mixture: Add 2 cups of cold water to the lemon juice and sugar mixture, stir well to combine, creating your homemade lemonade.
- Blend Homemade Lemonade with Ice Cream: Use this homemade lemonade in place of store-bought lemonade by blending it with vanilla ice cream as described in step one.
Notes
- You can substitute the store-bought lemonade with homemade lemonade for a fresher, more natural taste.
- The amount of lemon juice may vary depending on the size and juiciness of the lemons.
- Serving immediately ensures best texture since the ice cream will start melting over time.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar in your homemade lemonade as per taste preference.
