Description
A rich and creamy twist on the classic Limonada Suíça. Blending fresh limes with heavy whipping cream and sugar creates an ultra-smooth, luxurious, and perfectly tart summer drink without using condensed milk.
Ingredients
3 medium limes, washed and quartered
4 cups cold water
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
1. Add the quartered limes and cold water to a high-speed blender.
2. Pulse the mixture for exactly 10 to 15 seconds to extract the lime juice and essential oils without pulling bitterness from the pith.
3. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher or bowl, pressing gently to extract the juice, and discard the leftover lime solids.
4. Return the strained lime water to the rinsed blender.
5. Add the heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and ice cubes.
6. Blend on high until smooth, frothy, and completely creamy, then serve immediately in chilled glasses.
Notes
Heavy cream provides a richer, less syrupy texture compared to traditional sweetened condensed milk.
Do not over-blend the limes in the first step to prevent the drink from turning bitter.
Adjust the granulated sugar amount depending on how tart or sweet you prefer your lemonade.
Serve immediately over ice, as the drink can separate and turn bitter if stored.
