Pink Lemonade Ice Cream


Pink Lemonade Ice Cream


Sometimes you are handed lemons in life (the bitter, rotten kind), but this Pink Lemonade ice cream recipe is the perfect example of how you can take those lemons and turn them into something amazing! Nothing's quite as satisfying as easy, homemade ice cream and kids love the pink lemonade taste because it's just the right combination of tart and sweet and oh so pretty...


Your ice cream is only as good as your ingredients! If you can get a hold of fresh, local cream and milk you will taste the difference. As a healthier alternative, you can also replace the heavy cream with Greek Yogurt.
