A refreshing Copycat Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade Recipe made with fresh lemon juice, vanilla ice cream, and simple ingredients. Perfect for a sunny day, it's creamy, tart, and irresistibly sweet!
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
½ cup granulated sugar
2 cups cold water
4 cups vanilla ice cream
Ice (optional, for extra chill or slushier texture)
Lemon slices (optional for garnish)
Make the lemonade: In a pitcher, whisk together lemon juice, sugar, and cold water until sugar dissolves completely.
Blend: In a blender, combine 1½ cups of the lemonade with the vanilla ice cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve: Pour into glasses, garnish with lemon slices if desired, and serve immediately. Add ice for a thicker consistency.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar to the lemonade.
Use store-bought lemonade in a pinch, but fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor.
For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy ice cream alternatives.
