🍋 Whipped Strawberry Lemonade 🍓
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped, hulled strawberries
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1–2 lemons)
2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste or substitute with honey or monk fruit)
1 cup cold water
½ cup ice cubes
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional: 1–2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk for added richness
Whipped cream, for topping
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Blend the Strawberry Base
In a blender, combine strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, cold water, and ice. Blend on high until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
2. Prepare the Whipped Topping
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. For extra indulgence, gently fold in sweetened condensed milk to create a richer texture.
3. Assemble the Drinks
Pour the strawberry mixture into two tall glasses. Spoon a generous dollop of the whipped cream over each one, letting it float beautifully on top.
4. Serve Chilled
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy with a straw and a spoon!
