What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup ice cubes
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Measure out frozen strawberries, fresh lemon juice, heavy cream, sugar, and ice. Having everything ready before blending ensures a smooth and consistent slush texture.
Step 2: Blend Until Slushy
Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend on high until completely smooth and thick, about 30 to 45 seconds. The mixture should be thick enough to hold a straw upright.
Step 3: Serve Immediately
Pour the frozen strawberry lemonade slush into chilled glasses and garnish with a fresh strawberry or lemon slice. Serve right away before the slush melts.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- heavy cream → full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free creamy slush
- granulated sugar → simple syrup for easier blending and smoother sweetness
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using fresh strawberries instead of frozen results in a watery slush rather than a thick frosty texture
- Adding too much ice dilutes the strawberry lemon flavor making the slush taste bland
