Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 80 milliliters Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth.
Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the flavors evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the mixture to become cold and enhances the lemon flavor.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn the yogurt until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned frozen yogurt to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for 2-4 hours to firm up.
When ready to serve, scoops of the lemon frozen yogurt can be garnished with additional lemon zest, fresh berries, or mint leaves for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
