In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and the whole milk Greek yogurt. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, erythritol sweetener, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the yogurt base and adjust the sweetness or lemon flavor according to your preference by adding more erythritol or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the yogurt mixture into a medium saucepan and place it over low heat. Gently heat the mixture while stirring continuously until it reaches a temperature of around 110Β°F (43Β°C). This step helps the flavors meld without cooking the yogurt.
Remove from heat and cool slightly. Then pour the mixture into a clean glass jar or container with a lid.
Seal the container and place it in a warm spot or a yogurt maker set at 100Β°F (38Β°C) for about 4-6 hours, or until the yogurt thickens to your desired consistency.
Once the yogurt has thickened, transfer it to the refrigerator to cool completely and let the flavors develop further, ideally for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, stir the yogurt well and enjoy it chilled as is or with your favorite low-carb toppings.
