Frosted Lemonade combines three simple ingredients for the simplest and most divine of frozen summer treats in just a couple spins of the blender.
Frosted Lemonade
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Frosted lemonade is my recipe of the day for Festive Foodies as we are sharing ice cream treats as part of an ice cream social.
I was thinking of making ice cream but truthfully, my ice maker is on the fritz. So my extra freezer space is devoted to ice cube trays and we are going through a lot! I suppose I should call the repairman, but you know. If we are getting by, I think I’d rather wait for this covid thing to settle down.
Getting By….
So no room for the ice cream tub. And I’d love to get a machine with a compressor, but maybe not so much while we are laid off from work. I am not Marie Antoinette so can’t just buy willy nilly when there is no steady work because of covid.
But getting by…
I do like the Frosted Lemonades from Chick-Fil-a but they cost an arm and a leg. And I need all mine right now. Haha.
And I was scoping out to see how many people posted these and saw some recipes. I am NOT doing that.
Three Ingredients, Stupid Easy
I can’t help it, but when it gets hot I also get a bit lazy about making things from scratch. So I pared this down to just three ingredients with zero prep. Are you still with me? *grinning*
Ice cream. Check. Frozen lemonade. Check. Creamer. Check.
Harold! She’s kvetching about the grocery prices again!
Did I mention the frozen lemonade concentrate is probably a bit cheaper than the fresh lemons? I buy those for my iced tea and they are *outrageous*, sometimes 79 cents each or higher.
And the crappy blenders…
Oh and I did this in the food processor instead of the blender and that works great. My blender has been annoying me if ice cream just sticks in the bottom. I really should get a new blender but…yeah. No money for that right now. The entire aerospace industry is dead (that’s what the hubster does) (Did. Did I just say he does that? No, he used to do that.)
I’m in a mood, aren’t I? (For a frozen lemonade. Yes, Yes, Yes!)
Okeys. So all the stuff is ready to go, just plop it in the food processor and buzz away. It’s yummy. Well, it *was* yummy, because those didn’t last long. There’s a lot of past tense going on in this post, so let’s get it all past tense and get our butts in the kitchen and buzz up another. Stat.

Notes
Love this idea, and I bet it would be great with a few strawberries thrown in too. Can’t wait to try it!
That looks lemony and delicious. I wouldn’t have thought to use vanilla ice cream as the base.
I must remember to pick up some frozen lemonade! This is a must-make for sure! I am a lemon fanatic!!!
I can’t wait to try this! What a great summer treat!
