Main Ingredients
- 2 cups high-quality vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemonade (chilled)
- A handful of ice cubes
Optional Variations
- Handful of fresh strawberries or raspberries (for a berry twist)
- Dairy-free vanilla ice cream alternative (such as coconut or almond milk-based) for a vegan version
- Pinch of lemon zest or splash of lemon juice (for extra zest)
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (for sweeter taste)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish or blending)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemonade, and a handful of ice cubes. Ensure the lemonade is chilled to achieve the best frosty effect.
- Blend the Base: Combine the vanilla ice cream, chilled lemonade, and ice cubes in a blender. Blend until smooth and frosty, maintaining a thick consistency suitable for sipping.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add more lemonade little by little. If too loose, add additional ice cubes or scoops of ice cream until desired texture is reached.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the frosted lemonade into chilled glasses to keep it cold longer and enjoy the ultimate refreshing summer treat.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lemonade for the brightest, most natural flavor.
- Chilling your glasses helps keep the drink colder longer.
- Blend just enough to achieve a creamy, slushy consistency; avoid over-blending to prevent melting the ice cream too much.
- Taste before serving; add sweeteners like honey or agave only if needed.
- Garnish with lemon wheels, fresh mint, or berries for added flavor and visual appeal.
