Cool off with the zesty, creamy delight of Lemonade Frozen Yogurt, a refreshing summertime treat that's as easy to make as it is delicious. This no-cook recipe blends the tangy brightness of fresh lemon juice and zest with the velvety richness of plain Greek yogurt, perfectly sweetened with granulated sugar, honey, and a hint of vanilla. Ready in just 15 minutes of prep, this frozen yogurt can be churned in an ice cream maker or frozen manually for a smooth, dreamy texture. Ideal for a quick dessert or a midday pick-me-up, serve it soft-serve style or scoopable after a short freeze. Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest for a burst of flavor and visual appeal. With every spoonful, this Lemonade Frozen Yogurt delivers a vibrant balance of tang and sweetness, making it a must-try for citrus lovers and frozen dessert fans alike!
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Add the lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract to the lemon juice mixture. Mix well to incorporate.
In a large mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt. Gradually pour in the lemon mixture, whisking until fully combined and smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding a little more honey or sugar to preference.
Pour the yogurt mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20-25 minutes).
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every hour to break up ice crystals and ensure creamy texture.
Once the yogurt has reached your desired consistency, serve immediately for soft-serve texture, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer texture.
Scoop into bowls or cones, garnish with extra lemon zest if desired, and enjoy your Lemonade Frozen Yogurt!
