Tangy and sweet and unexpectedly delightful, this lemon shake recipe is one you'll return to again and again.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons crushed lemon drop candies
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 small lemon, cut into six slices, divided
1/2 cup 2% milk
2 cups vanilla ice cream
2 cups lemon sorbet
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a shallow dish, mix crushed lemon drops and sugar. Using 1 or 2 lemon slices, moisten the rims of four glasses; dip rims into candy mixture.
Place remaining ingredients (minus lemon slices) in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Pour into prepared glasses; serve immediately with remaining lemon slices.

Several different recipes inspired the combination of ingredients I use in these shakes, and I'm glad they did! They're so refreshing. —Carol Gillespie, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania
