Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Vanilla Greek Yogurt Feel free to swap in dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
  • 0.5 cups Sugar/Sweetener Consider maple syrup or xylitol for a sugar-free alternative.
For the Flavor
  • 0.5 cups Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed will give the most vibrant taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Zest Use zest from fresh lemons for extra brightness.
Optional Enhancements
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Turmeric Can be skipped for a pure lemon taste.

Equipment

  • Ice cream maker
  • mixing bowl
  • blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine vanilla Greek yogurt, sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the chilled bowl and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20-25 minutes.
  3. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for about 4-5 hours or until solid.
  4. Once frozen, blend the cubes in a blender until smooth and creamy to achieve a soft-serve texture.
  5. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.

Notes

Use full-fat yogurt for creaminess, and always prefer fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness to your liking while maintaining the zesty lemon profile.
