Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemonade (homemade or good-quality store-bought)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1 large lemon (for zest and juice)
Instructions
- Zest Lemon: Carefully zest the lemon to collect about ½ teaspoon of lemon zest. This adds a bright citrus aroma to the drink.
- Juice Lemon: Juice the lemon to extract 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, enhancing the tangy flavor of the lemonade.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cold lemonade, vanilla ice cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Blend just until smooth and combined, taking care not to overblend to maintain a creamy texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the blended frozen lemonade into two cups or one large glass. Serve immediately for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- Use high-quality lemonade for the best flavor, either homemade or store-bought.
- Do not over-blend the mixture to keep a creamy consistency rather than a completely liquefied drink.
- Adjust the amount of ice cream or lemonade to achieve your preferred thickness and sweetness.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately as it can lose its texture if left to sit.
