Frosted Lemonade – Creamy, Cold, and Refreshing!

Bring a taste of summer to your kitchen with this smooth and creamy Frosted Lemonade, a refreshing homemade version of the popular Chick-fil-A treat! Made with just two simple ingredients—chilled lemonade and vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt—this cool, tangy drink comes together in just minutes. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and citrusy, creamy and frosty, making it a family favorite for hot days or spontaneous dessert cravings.


Prep Time:

5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 6 cups


Ingredients

  • 6 cups chilled lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
  • 12 scoops vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt (approximately 6 cups)

Tip: For a lighter version, use low-fat frozen yogurt. For a bolder citrus flavor, try using freshly squeezed lemonade with lemon zest stirred in.


Instructions

  1. Add to Blender:
    Pour the chilled lemonade into a high-speed blender. Add the vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
  2. Blend Smooth:
    Begin blending on low speed for about 15 seconds to combine, then increase to medium-high and blend for 20 to 30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and frosty. Avoid over-blending—it should be thick and slushy, not melted.
  3. Serve Immediately:
    Pour the frosted lemonade into chilled glasses. Serve with a straw and a slice of lemon for garnish, if desired.

Serving Suggestion: This is best enjoyed right after blending while the texture is cold and creamy. If needed, freeze for 10–15 minutes to firm up slightly before serving.


Optional Add-Ins

  • Lemon zest – for an extra citrus punch
  • Honey or agave syrup – for added natural sweetness
  • A few fresh strawberries or raspberries – for a fruity twist
  • Mint leaves – for a cooling herbal note
