Hot summer days call for a large glass of extra-creamy whipped frozen lemonade made with coconut milk! Classic summer lemonade is frozen into cubes and blended with coconut milk ice cubes to make a bright and refreshing drink. Serve with a lemon-sugar rim and lemon slice for a festive beverage worthy of any backyard celebration!
In a liquid measuring cup, measure out the lemonade. Stir in the juice and zest from the fresh lemon. Pour into 1 ice cube tray. If you have extra lemonade, use another ice cube tray. Freeze overnight.
2 cups lemonade, juice and zest from 1 lemon
Shake the can of coconut milk. The solids and liquid have a tendency to separate and we want it to be fully blended. Pour into the other ice cube tray. Freeze overnight.
1 13.5 ounce can unsweetened canned coconut cream, full fat
In a blender, add 12 lemonade ice cubes and 3 coconut milk ice cubes. I recommend a 4:1 ratio of lemonade to coconut milk. Add 1/4 cup of lemonade in the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the lemonade is too thick, drizzle in more lemonade.
Lemon Sugar
The lemon sugar rim and garnish is optional - Add the sugar and lemon zest to a small shallow dish. Massage the lemon zest with the sugar.
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 small lemon
Cut the lemon into slices. Use a slice to moisten the rim of the serving glasses. Swirl the rim of the glasses in the lemon sugar.
Pour the frozen lemonade into the prepared glasses and garnish with a lemon slice.
Notes
