Description
A decadent Brazilian Lemonade Float combining the classic tart and creamy lime drink with a rich scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-like summer treat.
Ingredients
3 medium limes, washed and quartered
4 cups cold water
1/2 can (7 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups ice cubes
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Instructions
1. Add the quartered limes and cold water to a blender.
2. Pulse the mixture for 10 to 15 seconds to extract the lime juice without making it bitter.
3. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher and discard the leftover lime solids.
4. Return the strained lime water to the blender along with the sweetened condensed milk and ice cubes.
5. Blend on high until smooth and frothy.
6. Place a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream into each serving glass, pour the blended lemonade over the top, and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not over-blend the limes in the first step to prevent the white pith from turning the drink bitter.
Use a high-quality vanilla bean ice cream to complement the zesty lime flavor.
For a fun presentation, garnish with a lime wheel and serve with a wide straw and a long spoon.
Serve immediately before the ice cream completely melts.
