Print Recipe

This whipped lemonade is a tart, creamy, and frothy summer drink that tastes like a lemon creamsicle. It’s quick to make, customizable, and perfect for cooling off on hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 medium lemons)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (optional, for protein boost)
  • Zest from 1 lemon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roll lemons on the counter to loosen juice, slice, and squeeze out about 1/2 cup fresh juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp.
  2. Measure out sweetened condensed milk, cold water, heavy cream or evaporated milk, and Greek yogurt or cottage cheese if using.
  3. Add roughly 2 cups ice cubes to the blender (crushed ice for slushier texture).
  4. Add ice cubes first to the blender, then lemon juice, condensed milk, water, cream, and sugar (if using). Add Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, lemon zest, and vanilla extract if desired.
  5. Secure lid and blend on high for 30-45 seconds until thick, creamy, and pale yellow.
  6. Pause and taste. Adjust tartness or sweetness by adding more lemon juice, condensed milk, or sugar. Blend again for 10 seconds.
  7. Pour whipped lemonade into tall glasses. Garnish with extra lemon zest, a lemon wheel, or whipped cream if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while icy and creamy. If froth settles, stir or re-blend.

Notes

For dairy-free, use coconut condensed milk and coconut cream. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste. Chill glasses before serving for best presentation. Leftovers can be frozen into popsicles or re-blended with ice. Add berries or herbs for flavor variations.
