Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Pink Lemonade
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup pink lemonade, chilled
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy whipping cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
Garnish and Serving:
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices or fresh berries, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl, whipping with a hand mixer until soft, billowy peaks emerge, typically taking 2-3 minutes.
- Select a tall glass and generously fill with ice cubes, then cascade pink lemonade over the ice, allowing the liquid to occupy approximately three-quarters of the glass volume.
- Carefully transfer the freshly whipped cream mixture onto the pink lemonade surface, utilizing either a spoon or piping bag to create an elegant, cloud-like topping.
- Enhance the visual appeal by artfully placing delicate lemon slices or vibrant fresh berries atop the whipped cream layer.
- For optimal enjoyment, gently integrate the whipped cream into the pink lemonade by creating a subtle swirl, or alternatively, savor the distinct layered presentation with each sip.
Notes
- Whip cream to soft peaks for a light, airy texture that sits perfectly on top of the pink lemonade without sinking.
- Chill the mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help the cream whip faster and maintain its structure longer.
- Experiment with different flavored extracts like almond or coconut to create unique variations of this refreshing drink.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut whipped cream made from chilled coconut milk and use plant-based sweetener to keep the drink vegan-friendly.
