Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (strained to remove seeds and pulp)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (chilled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemon Juice: Start by juicing fresh lemons to get about half a cup of lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp if a smoother texture is preferred.
  2. Whip the Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a chilled bowl, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to whip the sweetened condensed milk until it becomes fluffy, light, and slightly increases in volume.
  3. Combine and Whip Together: Gradually add the fresh lemon juice into the whipped condensed milk, continuing to whip thoroughly to form a creamy and airy lemonade base.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Place the whipped lemonade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour to let the flavors meld and allow the texture to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve Over Ice: Pour the whipped lemon mixture over glasses filled with ice to provide a solid chill and instant refreshment.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best brightness and natural flavor.
  • Chill your bowl and beaters before whipping to maximize fluffiness.
  • Add fine lemon zest to boost aroma and intensify the lemon flavor.
  • Whisk vigorously to incorporate more air for a lighter and creamier texture.
  • Adjust the lemon juice to condensed milk ratio to balance tartness and sweetness according to taste.
  • Leftover whipped lemonade can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; stir gently before serving.
  • Freezing the whipped lemonade is not recommended as it may affect texture, but lemon juice can be frozen separately.
  • This recipe is best served cold and should not be reheated.
