Frosted Lemonade (Printable Version)
An easy at-home twist on the famous Chick-Fil-A Frosted Lemonade. Vanilla ice cream and fresh lemon juice come together for a smooth, cool drink.
# Ingredients:
01 -
6 cups vanilla ice cream with real vanilla beans
02 -
1⅓ cups fresh lemon juice (squeezed from about 6 big lemons)
03 -
4-5 drops optional yellow food color
04 -
1 cup super cold water
05 -
4 lemon slices for garnish (optional)
06 -
1 cup white sugar
# Steps:
01 -
Toss the lemon juice and sugar into a 7-8 cup capacity blender. On the smoothie or milkshake setting, run it at a low speed for 30 to 45 seconds to mix and dissolve everything together.
02 -
While the blender is still on low speed using the same setting, trickle in the cold water gradually. Let it blend for 10 to 15 seconds until it's all combined nicely.
03 -
Dump all 6 cups of the vanilla ice cream into the blender. Put the lid on and pulse gently on low until the ice cream combines with the liquid. If you’re using the food coloring, add it now and blend briefly until smooth.
04 -
Immediately transfer the creamy lemonade into serving glasses. Add slices of lemon on top if you'd like, and serve it right away with straws for sipping.
# Notes:
01 -
To get the best texture, make sure your ice cream is super firm and your water is really cold.
02 -
Want less? You can halve the amounts, and it’ll still turn out great.
03 -
For a punch of lemony kick, toss in half a teaspoon of lemon zest.
04 -
This drink melts fast, so serve it as soon as you’re done blending.
