Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Frozen Yogurt
  1. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and your choice of sugar or sweetener until smooth and fully combined.
  2. If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine's bowl and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes.
  3. For no ice cream maker, pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for about 5-6 hours until solid.
  4. Remove the trays, let sit for 10 minutes, then blend the cubes in a food processor until creamy and smooth.
  5. For firmer consistency, transfer blended yogurt into an airtight container, cover and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.
  6. Serve by scooping the yogurt into bowls or cones, optionally topping with fresh fruit or vegan lemon curd.
