Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Base
  • 2 cups Vanilla Greek Yogurt May use dairy-free options for vegan diets
  • 1/3 cup Sugar or Sweetener Maple syrup, honey, or no-sugar alternatives like xylitol
For the Zesty Flavor
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice Use fresh lemon juice for best taste
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest Always opt for fresh lemon zest
Optional Color Enhancer
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric Can be omitted or substituted with food coloring if preferred

Equipment

  • food processor
  • measuring cup
  • Ice cube trays

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large measuring cup, whisk together 2 cups of vanilla Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup of sugar or your preferred sweetener, 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest until smooth.
  2. If using an ice cream maker, ensure the bowl is completely frozen as per the manufacturer's instructions, usually for at least 24 hours. Pour the lemon yogurt mixture into the chilled bowl and churn on low speed for about 20-25 minutes.
  3. For those without an ice cream maker, pour the yogurt mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid, approximately 3-4 hours. Once frozen, remove the cubes and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the frozen yogurt cubes to a food processor and blend until smooth, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Serve the creamy Lemon Frozen Yogurt immediately for the best texture, garnishing with fresh mint or a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired.
