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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
