Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Frozen Yogurt
  1. In a large measuring cup, whisk together 2 cups of vanilla Greek yogurt or your chosen dairy-free alternative, 1/2 cup of sugar or sweetener, 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the zest of one lemon until smooth.
  2. Pour the lemon yogurt mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions for about 20-25 minutes.
  3. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into ice cube trays or a freezer-safe container and freeze for about 4 hours, stirring every hour to maintain smoothness.
  4. When ready to serve, remove the mixture from the freezer and let it thaw slightly for 5-10 minutes. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Scoop your Lemon Frozen Yogurt into bowls and top with fresh fruit or whipped cream if desired.
