Description
A creamy, tangy, and refreshing twist on classic lemonade—this Blueberry Frosted Lemonade blends juicy blueberries, vanilla ice cream, and lemonade into a sweet-tart summer treat perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar (or honey)
1/2 cup water
2 cups lemonade (homemade or store-bought)
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
Fresh blueberries and lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar (or honey), and water. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the syrup has cooled, transfer it to a blender along with the lemonade, vanilla ice cream, and optional lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended mixture into tall glasses.
- Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon slices.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Use honey instead of sugar for a natural sweetener.
Substitute vanilla ice cream with lemon sorbet for a dairy-free option.
Frozen mixed berries can replace blueberries for variety.
Make the blueberry syrup ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Add fresh mint leaves for a refreshing herbal note.
For an adult version, include a splash of vodka or limoncello before blending.
