Description
Creamy, frosty, and sunshine-bright, Whipped Lemonade swirls fresh lemon tang with pillowy whipped sweetness for a dessert-like drink that still refreshes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups cold water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your blender jug in the fridge for 10 minutes so the drink stays extra cold.
- Add lemon juice, cold water, granulated sugar, and ice cubes to the blender, then blend until smooth and slushy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk.
- Pour the blended lemonade into tall glasses, leaving room on top.
- Top each glass with a generous dollop of the whipped cream mixture.
- Garnish with lemon slices or a little lemon zest.
- Serve immediately and enjoy while frosty.
Notes
- Use powdered sugar in the whipped cream for ultra-smooth sweetness.
- Freeze lemon juice in ice cube trays and use instead of ice for a stronger citrus flavor.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract for a dessert-like twist.
- A tiny pinch of sea salt brightens the lemon and balances sweetness.
- Best enjoyed fresh since the whipped topping deflates over time.
- For dairy-free, swap heavy cream with coconut cream and condensed milk with thick coconut milk plus sweetener to taste.
