Description
Whipped Pink Lemonade is a refreshing, creamy twist on the classic lemonade, with a light and fluffy texture and a delightful pink hue. This indulgent, yet simple, drink combines tangy lemonade with whipped cream for a smooth, sweet treat perfect for warm weather.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1–2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2–3 drops pink food coloring (or to your desired shade)
- Ice cubes for serving
- Fresh lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
- Fresh mint or berries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and cold water.
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness, adding more sweetened condensed milk if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract (if using) and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much. You want to maintain that fluffy texture for the whipped effect.
- Stir in the pink food coloring, a drop at a time, until you achieve the desired shade of pink. Mix gently to avoid deflating the whipped cream too much.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the whipped pink lemonade mixture over the ice. Top with additional whipped cream, fresh lemon slices, mint leaves, or berries as desired.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk.
- For a more vibrant pink color, add more food coloring as desired.
- Garnish with fresh mint or berries for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
