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