Ingredients
1/2 to 1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (or full-fat coconut milk with simple syrup)
2 cups ice cubes (crushed or cubed)
Optional: 1 scoop vanilla ice cream or coconut cream for extra richness
Optional garnishes: whipped cream, lemon wedge, extra lemon zest
Instructions
- Zest lemons if using, then squeeze fresh lemon juice.
- Add lemon juice, sweetened condensed milk (or coconut milk alternative), lemon zest, and ice to a blender.
- Blend on high until thick, smooth, and whipped like a lemon slush or soft serve.
- Taste and adjust thickness—add water if too thick or more ice if too thin.
- Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream or lemon wedge if desired.
- Serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
- Use coconut milk and simple syrup for a dairy-free, vegan-friendly version.
- Add vanilla ice cream or coconut cream for a richer dessert.
- Blend fresh berries or swap lemon juice for other fruit juices for flavor variations.
- Crush ice manually if you don’t have a high-speed blender.
- Add a splash of vodka, rum, or limoncello for an adult version.
