Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Frozen Yogurt
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of vanilla Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of your chosen sweetener, 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice, and the zest from one lemon. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Once your base is ready, pour the mixture into a chilled ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and churn the mixture for about 20-25 minutes until it has a soft-serve consistency.
  3. After churning, transfer the soft Lemon Frozen Yogurt into an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and seal tightly. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firm enough to scoop.
  4. When you're ready to serve, allow the frozen yogurt to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes for easy scooping.
