Whipped lemonade is the liquid version of lime creamsicle I would say. It's been popular for a while now, after a viral tiktok video.
Before summer is out, I wanted to try out this creamy lemon flavor ice blended drink.
After I tried the trending dalgona recipe in mocha flavor, I wanted to try this out too as it sounded so delicious. Because,the famous Tiktok Whipped lemonade kept coming in my Google discover from sites like Delish, Cnet. So thought of trying it out.
Ingredients
Quite simple ingredients. I had all in my pantry so when I read the With only 4 main ingredients - lemon juice, condensed milk, whipped cream and ice, doesn't it sound tempting enough?
- Whipped cream
- Condensed milk
- Lemon juice
- Lots of ice cubes
See recipe card for quantities.
Substitutions
Though this is the basic idea of this cold summer drink, you can always play with the ingredients according to availability or if you want to follow a specific diet.
First, let's see how we can make this vegan.
- Condensed milk - sweetened condensed coconut milk or sweetened condensed oat milk can be used for instance.
- Whipped cream - Similarly, now a days there are many easily available coconut whipping cream available in shops. You can also use coconut cream, if not the coconut whipping cream.
Variations
For instance, what if any one ingredient you want to swap. That is make your own whipped cream for this recipe?
Here's how to make whipped cream:
Start by whipping cold heavy cream/ whipping cream in a bowl over a bed of ice cubes. Then, use a splash of vanilla extract and sugar along whipping cream.
Beat until stiff peaks forms. Then use it in the recipe. You can also add everything together and blend if you are going to use whipped cream topping.
Want to make lower fat version? Instead of making it a whipped drink, make it a shaken drink using half and half (evaporated milk) or even milk in place of whipped cream.

Using a powerful blender is recommended as we need to blend the ice cubes so well that it would not affect the creamy texture. It should justify the whipped drink.
I used my panasonic medium jar and it was doing good affiliate link to purchase the equipment.
Storage
It's best to enjoy immediately. If for any reason it's leftover, you can try freezing. Then blend it again to make it drinkable later.
Top tip
I would suggest to not reduce condensed milk as the taste gets affected by it and you would end up in not liking the drink. Trust me, I tried that!
Using the ingredients as per recipe will give you perfect results. Do not skimp on ice cubes. You need everything in it's quantity for the recipe to work.
