Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-ounce) can frozen pink lemonade concentrate
- 1 ½ cups cold water
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar)
- ½ teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- Ice cubes, for serving
- Fresh lemon slices or raspberries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: First, prepare the pink lemonade base. In a large pitcher or bowl, combine the frozen pink lemonade concentrate with 1 ½ cups of cold water. Stir thoroughly until the concentrate is fully dissolved and blended.
- Step 2: In a separate large, chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and alcohol-free vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, typically 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Step 3: Gently pour or spoon the prepared pink lemonade mixture into the bowl with the whipped cream. Using a spatula, carefully fold the lemonade into the whipped cream until just combined and a light pink, fluffy consistency is achieved. Avoid overmixing to maintain the airy texture.
- Step 4: Fill individual serving glasses with ice cubes. Spoon or pour the whipped pink lemonade mixture over the ice.
- Step 5: Garnish each glass with a fresh lemon slice or a few raspberries, if desired, and serve immediately for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- For the best airy texture, enjoy your whipped pink lemonade immediately; if you have a small amount left, cover and refrigerate for no more than a few hours, but expect the texture to soften.
- This delightful treat is designed to be served chilled, so please don't try to reheat it; it simply wouldn't work!
- Elevate the fun by serving your whipped pink lemonade in clear mason jars with colorful striped straws, or even create a dessert bar by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it a 'float'!
- For the fluffiest whipped cream that holds its shape beautifully, make sure both your heavy cream and your mixing bowl are thoroughly chilled before you start whipping.
