Two-Ingredient Whipped Lemonade

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (regular or coconut milk condensed milk for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (preferably Meyer lemons)

Instructions

  1. Chill Your Mixing Bowl and Whisk: Place your mixing bowl and whisk in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to ensure the condensed milk whips up better and achieves a fluffy texture faster.
  2. Pour and Whisk Condensed Milk: Remove the chilled bowl and pour in 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Use an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed to whisk the milk until it thickens and becomes slightly fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Lemon Juice Gradually: Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice while continuing to whisk. The acidity helps thicken the mixture further and creates the signature whipped texture.
  4. Whip Until Fluffy and Puffed: Continue whisking until the lemonade mixture doubles in volume and forms soft peaks, which should take another 3-5 minutes. The color will lighten, and the frothy texture will develop.
  5. Serve Immediately: Spoon the fluffy whipped lemonade into glasses, add ice if desired, garnish as preferred, and enjoy your refreshing, tangy treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh Meyer lemons for the best sweetness and fragrance; if unavailable, regular lemons work well.
  • Chilling the bowl and whisk is essential for achieving a smooth and fluffy whip.
  • Start whisking at a moderate speed and increase gradually to build stable peaks.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice is necessary; bottled lemon juice does not whip well and may alter flavor.
  • Serve the whipped lemonade immediately to enjoy the fullest fluffy texture before it starts to deflate.
