Chick-Fil-A Frosted Lemonade (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1⅓ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6 large lemons)
02 -
1 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1 cup VERY cold water
04 -
6 cups vanilla bean ice cream
05 -
4-5 drops of yellow food coloring (optional)
06 -
4 sliced lemons (optional, for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Add the lemon juice and sugar to a 7-8 cup blender. Blend at low speed on either the milkshake or smoothie setting for 30-45 seconds. This is a quick and easy way to dissolve and blend the lemon juice and sugar.
02 -
Keep the mixer at low speed on the milkshake or smoothie setting, and slowly drizzle in the cold water. Blend for 10-15 seconds until well combined.
03 -
Add the 6 cups of vanilla bean ice cream to the lemonade mixture in the blender. Secure the lid and pulse on low speed until the ice cream and lemonade are well blended. Add yellow food coloring if desired and blend briefly to incorporate.
04 -
Pour the frosted lemonade into glasses. Garnish with lemon slices if desired and serve immediately with straws.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, make sure your ice cream is very firm and your water is ice cold.
02 -
This recipe can be easily halved if you want to make fewer servings.
03 -
For extra lemon flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest to the mixture.
04 -
The frosted lemonade will melt quickly, so plan to serve it immediately after blending.
