    This Pink Lemonade Ice Cream is the perfect frozen dessert recipe for summer!

    Pink lemonade ice cream in a cone being held

     

    Hi folks.

    I'd like to welcome back ICE CREAM SUNDAYS. I know I haven't posted ice cream in a while. So this will be like it's homecoming. Maybe we should get it a purty dress. Something Molly Ringwald-esque. You know like the dress she made for Pretty in Pink.Without the weird collar thing. Cuz that was just kind of grody. To the max.

    So with the warmer weather sure to be coming soon it seems fitting to get the ice cream back in Sunday. Not that it's warm here. I mean seriously I could store my ice cream outside and it wouldn't melt. Where's spring people? Who kidnapped it? I blame Molly Ringwald. I mean anyone who wears a collar like that has to have some problems. Evil doer.

    If your lucky enough to be enjoying warm weather:

    A- I hate you!

    B- You should eat ice cream!

    C- I hate you!

    D- You should eat this ice cream!

    E- I hate you!

    F- And Molly Ringwald's evil doer collar!

    Enjoy and don't tell Ducky I was talking smack about his girlfriend. I'd hate to get stalked by a dude on a bike. Even if he is cooler than Molly.

    Disclaimer alert: I do really like Molly Ringwald, so no hate mail please. If you feel the need please address it to:

    Molly Ringwald's Weird Collar,

    I don't want you to see where I live,

    Totally spectacular Pretty in Pink ice cream. Even Molly would like this one. Just don't let her near it with scissors.

    Here's hoping summer hurries up. I have so many other ice creams planned. And none of them wear a stupid collar. Or date the wrong dude. I mean seriously Molly, the duckman adored you, how could you toss him over for someone named Blaine. It's just wrong. We should all be so lucky to have a Ducky in our lives. He didn't even laugh at you when he saw your collar. Now that's true love.

    Toodles and smoochies! xx

      Truth be told, I can't stand Molly Ringwald and could never understand what her thing was. This ice cream, however, wow. I could be all over this stuff. It looks fantastic.

      I have been thinking that it's time to start making ice cream, too. I even picked up some ice cream salt this week! Your staging of the ice cream melting makes me want to lick my screen (how's that for saying delicious without saying delicious even though I just said delicious three times?) Why is pink lemonade so much more fun to drink than it's drab sister?

        Okay what? What is ice cream salt? How do I not know about this? Where do I find it?

        Thanks so much. I thought your description was delicious.

        Totally cuz it's pink. So much fun and cute.

      So, OK, I definitely need to get an ice cream maker EVEN THOUGH we really only get about two weeks of warm weather in Scotland, and we've had one of them already... Molly RIngwald dancing in The Breakfast Club, that is what we should remember. The collar should be left in the eighties, where it belongs.

        I loved her in Breakfast Club. She was much better in that one. Sixteen Candles is my fave I think. You must get an ice cream maker. I do ice cream all year round. I'm crazy like that.

      Yes! The collar on that dress was totally bizarre! Actually, even my teenage self didn't really like the dress. But this ice cream...wow. Gorgeous color, and love the photos of the cone on its side.

        The original dress would have been good all on it's own. The collar was strange. Thanks. I had fun shooting this one.

      I adore ice cream but it does NOT adore me back so I have to live vicariously through others. And when I saw that top photo I knew I had to check out the post. What a gorgeous photo - you captured everything wonderful about summer and ice cream!

      Hi Kim
      This recipe looks fantastic and I LOVE your pictures.
      I want to try this recipe but I'm not sure how much a 1/2 tin of pink lemonade concentrate is. We have more than one size frozen containers of concentrate at our store. What size container did you use?
      I'm looking forward to more of your recipes 🙂

        Hi Andrea. I just saw this so going to respond here but in case you don't see it I'll also send you an email. First of all thank you so much. I really enjoyed this photo shoot so much. Ice cream can be tricky to take photos of so I like to get creative. Secondly I used MinuteMaid Pink Lemonade in the 295ml size. Hope that helps. Half a container was great. I was worried a full one would give it too much zing but you could certainly try using more if you feel experimental. I'm going to play around with this and make sorbet with it too soon. I think it would be lovely as a sorbet or sherbet. Hope this helped. Feel free to email me if I ever seem M.I.A., sometimes spam grabs comments or they get buried under other comments and I miss them from time to time. Let me know how you like it. xx
