Copycat Chick-fil-A Frozen Lemonade
This Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade recipe is one of my favorite treats for hot summer days. Don’t get me wrong, I will never say no to a lunch at Chick-fil-A. The nuggets and Chick-fil-A sauce are a match made in HEAVEN. However, I don’t live near a Chick-fil-A right now and I have resorted to trying some copycat recipes.. I knew I had to try to make one of these refreshing drinks at home. This It’s not quite a milkshake, but not quite a slushy. It is perfectly in the middle with tart lemon flavor and creamy vanilla. It seriously takes 5 minutes to whip up and it tastes just like the real thing!
Ingredients for Chick-fil-A Frozen Lemonade
Vanilla Ice Cream – I like to use a creamier brand like Tillamook or Edy’s, but you can use any vanilla ice cream! Make sure you keep in in the freezer right up until you add it to the blender. You want it to be really cold. Lemonade – Fresh squeezed lemonade is the best for this recipe. I like the Trader Joe’s brand or Newman’s Own Lemonade. Simply Lemonade works great too! You can also use homemade lemonade, made of fresh lemon juice, sugar, and water.Lemon Zest (Optional) – If you are a lemon-lover, like me, then you can add in the zest of one lemon to really bring out the tart lemon flavor! Remember when zesting to stop when you see white. The white part of the lemon rind is really bitter.
Variations
This simple, two-ingredient Frozen Lemonade recipe is perfect just the way it is. However, you can definitely change things up and try different flavors. Use different lemonade flavors – strawberry lemonade, raspberry lemonade, etc. Simply Lemonade makes a peach lemonade that would be like the perfect blend of the Chick Fil A Peach Milkshake and the Frosted Lemonade! You can also use different citrus juices like limeade or even orange juice, almost like an Orange Julius. (If you are now craving an Orange Julius, try our recipe! It is so good!)
