This Frosted Lemonade is a refreshing, creamy drink that perfectly blends sweet vanilla ice cream with bright, tangy lemonade. The result is a smooth, frosty beverage that feels like a mix between a milkshake and a frozen slush—perfect for hot days or a quick homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cold prepared lemonade (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 cups vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
Instructions
Step 1: Chill the Pitcher
Place a large glass pitcher in the refrigerator or freezer for 10–15 minutes. This keeps your drink colder and creamier for longer.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
Pour the cold lemonade into a blender.
Add the softened vanilla ice cream. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes if it’s too firm to blend easily.
Step 3: Blend
Blend on medium-high speed for 20–40 seconds until smooth, thick, and pale yellow.
If needed, pause to stir and blend again.
Step 4: Adjust Texture
- For a thicker drink: add more ice cream and blend again
- For a lighter drink: add a splash of lemonade
Step 5: Serve
Pour into the chilled pitcher or individual glasses.
Serve immediately for the best frosty texture.
