Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (strained)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by squeezing fresh lemons to obtain about 1/2 cup of lemon juice. Strain out seeds and pulp to ensure a smooth drink. Measure out 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk and have it ready for whipping.
  2. Whip the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Using a hand or stand mixer, whip on medium-high speed until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Aim for soft peaks that hold their shape to achieve the signature whipped texture.
  3. Chill or Serve: For a more refreshing experience, chill the whipped lemonade in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving. Alternatively, serve immediately over a glass of chilled water or sparkling water to create a creamy lemonade float.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the brightest flavor and best frothy texture; bottled lemon juice is not recommended.
  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters beforehand to help the mixture whip faster and fluffier.
  • Avoid overwhipping; stop as soon as stiff peaks form to prevent separation.
  • For a bubbly twist, mix with sparkling water before serving.
  • Adjust sweetness and tartness by tasting and adding more lemon juice if desired.
