Strawberry Whipped Lemonade
Equipment
- High-speed blender
- citrus juicer
- measuring cups
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice about 2–3 lemons
- ½ cup strawberries hulled (fresh or frozen)
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 1–1½ cups cups ice adjust for thickness
- 1–2 tbsp granulated sugar or strawberry syrup optional, to taste
- Optional garnish: whipped cream sliced strawberries, lemon zest
Instructions
Blend strawberries first
- Add strawberries to the blender and blend until completely smooth.
Add the creamy elements
- Pour in lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.
Ice it up
- Add ice and blend on high for 30–45 seconds until thick, smooth, and whipped.
Taste & adjust
- Add sugar or strawberry syrup if you want it sweeter.
Serve immediately
- Pour into chilled glasses and top with whipped cream or strawberry slices if desired.
Notes
- For the best texture, use very cold heavy cream and blend just until thick and fluffy—overblending can thin the drink.
- Frozen strawberries create a thicker, milkshake-style consistency and deeper pink color.
- Adjust sweetness after blending; strawberry ripeness varies, so you may not need extra sugar.
- Fresh lemon juice is essential—bottled juice will dull the flavor.
- Serve immediately for maximum fluffiness; the whipped texture will slowly settle as it sits.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
- If the lemonade separates, a quick re-blend restores the creamy consistency.
FAQ – Strawberry Whipped Lemonade
Can I make this without heavy cream?
Yes. You can substitute half-and-half for a lighter drink, or use coconut cream for a dairy-free version. The texture will be slightly less fluffy but still creamy.
Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?
Fresh lemon juice is strongly recommended for the brightest flavor, but bottled juice can work in a pinch. Taste and adjust sweetness, as bottled juice is often more acidic.
Is this the same as frozen lemonade?
Not exactly. Whipped lemonade is creamier and more aerated, while frozen lemonade is typically icy and slushy without dairy.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best served immediately. If needed, you can refrigerate it for up to a few hours and re-blend briefly before serving to restore the whipped texture.
How can I make it less sweet?
Reduce the sweetened condensed milk slightly and add a splash of milk or extra lemon juice to balance the sweetness.
Can I turn this into popsicles?
Yes! Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for a creamy strawberry lemonade treat.
