Whipped Frozen Lemonade

Whipped frozen lemonade combines the creaminess of a milkshake with the thirst-quenching tanginess of freshly squeezed lemonade for an incredibly refreshing treat. And this simple frozen lemonade treat comes together with just four ingredients and a blender.

You can use light coconut milk or refrigerated coconut milk in place of full-fat coconut milk, though the end result won’t be as rich and creamy. Leftover simple syrup will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Lemon Simple Syrup

½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup water
Zest of 1 lemon

Lemonade

½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
2 ½ cups ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

To prepare simple syrup: Bring sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Stir in lemon zest and remove from heat. Cover and let steep for 1 hour, then strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve; discard the zest. (You’ll have extra syrup; refrigerate for up to 1 week.)
Step 2

To prepare whipped lemonade: Add 1/2 cup simple syrup, lemon juice, coconut milk and ice to a blender. Blend until the ice is crushed and the mixture is slushy. Divide between 4 8-ounce glasses and serve immediately.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate simple syrup (Step 1) in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
