Ingredients
  

Frosted Lemonade Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 3-4 juicy lemons)
  • 1/2 cup cold filtered water
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 3 cups premium vanilla bean ice cream (approx. 6 generous scoops)
Optional Garnishes
  • 2 wheels fresh lemon slices for glass rim
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint
  • 2 tbsp whipped cream (optional)

Method
 

Make the Fresh Lemonade Base
  1. In a small measuring cup or directly in the blender, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cold water, and sugar until the sugar completely dissolves to form a tart, concentrated fresh lemonade base.
Blend with Ice Cream
  1. Add the fresh lemonade base and the scoops of vanilla bean ice cream into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on medium speed for 20 to 30 seconds just until thick, creamy, and velvety smooth. Avoid over-blending so it remains frosty and spoonable.
Garnish & Serve
  1. Pour into two chilled glasses. Garnish with a fresh lemon wheel slice, a dollop of whipped cream, and a fresh mint sprig. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon!
