Frosted Lemonade Ingredients
This makes 1 large serving or 2 smaller servings. Just to the recipe card to print this out and save for later!
- Vanilla Icecream (2 cups): I used the Kroger brand vanilla bean ice cream & think it is really close to the soft serve flavor at Chick-fil-A. But any of your favorite icecream will work, just note that some brands may alter the color and taste!
- Fresh lemon juice (1/4 cup = about 2 large lemons): Fresh lemon juice is the key here (the bottled kind has a different taste) but you could also try making this with your favorite lemonade!
- Powdered sugar (2-3 teaspoons, sweeten to taste): this will help tone down the tartness of the lemon juice. I like to use powdered sugar so it’s not gritty but you can use granulated sugar or your favorite alternative sweetener.
- Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon): this is optional but does enhance the overall flavor
Tip! Toss in fresh summer strawberries to make this a frozen strawberry lemonade! This would also work with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries!).
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Chick-fil-A lemonade made with??
Chick-fil-A makes their homemade lemonade with Sunkist lemons (which have a tangy, tart flavor!), sugar, and water. Different types of lemons yield different flavors, so the Sunkist are the key to matching the flavor! That said, I just used large lemons I had on hand and they were amazing.
