Ingredients

16 ounces lemonade (must contain sugar)

Instructions

Freeze: Cover the container and freeze on a flat surface in a cold freezer for 24 hours. Ensure it’s level to avoid uneven freezing.

Re-spin if Needed: If the texture is not creamy enough, use the “Re-spin” function to achieve a smoother consistency.
Serve: Scoop into bowls and enjoy immediately!
