Main Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 4 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 (3 oz) packet pink lemonade flavored instant Jello powder
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- Prepare the Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, cold water, powdered sugar, and pink lemonade flavored instant Jello powder. Stir thoroughly until the sugar and Jello powder dissolve completely, creating a smooth, tangy, and sweet pink lemonade mixture.
- Whip the Cream: Using a chilled mixing bowl and beaters, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. This will provide a light, fluffy topping that balances the tartness of the lemonade.
- Combine and Chill: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade base with a spatula, taking care not to deflate the cream. Once fully combined, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and chill the drink perfectly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the whipped pink lemonade into glasses, garnish as desired with lemon slices, raspberries, or mint, and serve immediately for the best creamy texture and bright flavor.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest and most vibrant flavor.
- Chill both the heavy cream and the mixing bowl before whipping to achieve better volume and stability.
- When folding, be gentle to maintain the airy whipped texture.
- Taste the lemonade base before folding in cream and adjust the sweetness as needed.
- Serve immediately for optimal creamy texture; leftovers may lose fluffiness after a few hours.
