1-First Step: Chill your glass and gather everything Start by placing your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes while you prep the ingredients. This helps keep the drink colder for longer, which is especially nice on warm days. Measure out 1 1/2 cups ice cubes, 1/4 cup cold heavy cream, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk.

2-Second Step: Add everything to the blender Put the ice, heavy cream, lemon juice, and sweetened condensed milk into a high-speed blender. If your blender has a tamper, keep it nearby in case the ice needs help moving around. For the smoothest result, make sure the lemon juice is freshly squeezed from 2 medium lemons.

3-Third Step: Blend until smooth Blend on high until the mixture turns smooth and thick, about 1 minute. You want a texture that is creamy and slushy, not watery. If the blender struggles, pause and scrape down the sides or use the tamper to push the ice toward the blades. This is where the drink gets its signature frozen lemonade texture.

4-Fourth Step: Check the texture and taste After blending, taste the drink. If you want it a little sweeter, you can add a small splash more sweetened condensed milk. If you want more tartness, add a tiny bit more lemon juice. That balance is what makes this creamy lemonade so good, so tweak it to fit your preference.

5-Final Step: Pour and garnish Pour the whipped lemonade into your chilled glass. Top with whipped cream and a lemon slice if you want a pretty finish. Serve right away while it is cold and fluffy.
