Instructions
Follow these easy steps for your whipped frozen lemonade:
1. Juice the Lemons: Begin by squeezing fresh lemons to extract about 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds if necessary.
2. Mix the Base: In a blender, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and cold water. Blend on low until the sugar dissolves entirely.
3. Add Ice: Next, add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and icy, resembling a slushy texture.
4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This will add a creamy texture to your lemonade.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream completely.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the whipped frozen lemonade and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice as desired.
7. Freeze: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for at least 1-2 hours to enhance its texture.
8. Scoop and Serve: Remove the whipped frozen lemonade from the freezer, let it sit for a few minutes, then use a scoop to serve in chilled glasses.
9. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.
By following these steps, you’ll create a whipped frozen lemonade that’s not only delicious but also visually appealing. It’s a beautiful drink that everyone will enjoy!
