Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240ml) prepared lemonade, chilled
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cups (450g) premium vanilla bean ice cream
  • 0.5 cup (65g) crushed ice

Instructions:

  1. Chill the liquids. Place your prepared lemonade and fresh lemon juice in the back of the fridge. Note: Cold liquids prevent the ice cream from melting instantly.
  2. Prep the blender. Remove your blender jar from the freezer. Note: This step is optional but highly recommended for the thickest texture.
  3. Measure the ice cream. Scoop 3 cups of vanilla bean ice cream directly into the blender. Measure by weight if possible for accuracy.
  4. Add the liquids. Pour in 1 cup of chilled lemonade and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
  5. Incorporate the ice. Add the 0.5 cup of crushed ice on top of the other ingredients.
  6. Pulse to break. Use the pulse setting 5-6 times until the large chunks of ice cream are broken.
  7. Blend on low. Turn the blender to its lowest speed for 15 seconds until the mixture looks like thick ribbons.
  8. Check consistency. Stop and stir with a long spoon to ensure no unblended ice cream remains at the bottom.
  9. Finish the blend. Give it one final 5 second burst on high until perfectly smooth and glossy.
  10. Serve immediately. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a lemon wheel.
