Ingredients
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups ice cold water
6 cups vanilla ice cream (about 12 scoops)
Sliced lemons, for garnish
Instructions
- Pour the lemon juice and sugar into a blender. Blend until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the ice cold water to the blender and mix to chill the lemon mixture.
- Add the vanilla ice cream and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Divide the mixture evenly among three glasses.
- Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
Notes
- Use bottled lemonade instead of fresh lemon juice and sugar for a shortcut.
- Try flavored lemonades such as raspberry or strawberry for variety.
- Use frozen lemonade concentrate for a stronger citrus flavor.
- For a lighter version, use sugar-free lemonade and light ice cream.
- Mix lemon and lime juice for extra tanginess.
- Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 day and re-blended before serving.
