Description
A refreshing and fun twist on classic lemonade, this Whipped Pink Lemonade features a creamy, whipped topping made with pink lemonade mix and heavy whipping cream. Perfect for a hot day, this recipe combines tangy lemonade with a light, fluffy cream layer for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
For the Whipped Cream:
- ¼ cup pink lemonade mix (such as Country Time)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
For the Lemonade:
- 2 tablespoons pink lemonade mix
- 1 ½ cups water
- Ice as needed
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup pink lemonade mix with ½ cup heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed, whip the mixture until the cream thickens and stiff peaks form, indicating it is well aerated and holds shape.
- Prepare Lemonade Glasses: Take two glasses and add 1 tablespoon of pink lemonade mix to each. Pour ¾ cup water into each glass and stir well to dissolve the mix evenly. Fill each glass roughly two-thirds full with ice to chill the lemonade.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Spoon or dollop the prepared pink lemonade whipped cream generously on top of each glass, creating a fluffy layer that sits atop the ice and lemonade mixture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Before drinking, stir the whipped pink lemonade cream into the lemonade to combine the creamy and tangy flavors for a smooth and refreshing beverage experience.
Notes
- Use chilled heavy whipping cream for best whipping results.
- If you prefer a less sweet drink, adjust the pink lemonade mix quantity to taste.
- This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between the whipped topping and the cold lemonade.
- For a non-dairy alternative, try coconut cream but whipping may vary.
