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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the flavors evenly.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Transfer the churned frozen yogurt to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for 2-4 hours to firm up.
Step 6
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.
