A quick and easy refreshing summer drink combining fresh lemon juice with whipped cream for a creamy, frothy treat perfect for hot days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 medium fresh lemons, juiced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 2 cups cold water (475 ml)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes for serving
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: lemon zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice with granulated sugar and cold water. Stir vigorously until sugar dissolves (3-5 minutes).
  2. Chill the lemonade mixture in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Pour heavy cream into a large chilled mixing bowl, add vanilla extract, and whip with an electric mixer or hand whisk until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes with mixer, 6-7 minutes by hand).
  4. Gently fold half of the chilled lemonade into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula, then fold in the remaining lemonade until fully combined and creamy.
  5. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and pour the creamy whipped lemonade over the top. Garnish with mint leaves and lemon zest if desired.
  6. Optional: Chill assembled glasses in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy within 2 hours.

Notes

Chill mixing bowls and beaters before whipping cream for better fluffiness. Fold lemonade gently into whipped cream to maintain airy texture. If cream deflates, whisk briefly to revive. Adjust sweetness with extra sugar or honey if needed. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with chilled coconut cream.
