Main Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative For a smooth base.
- 1/3 cup sugar or your preferred sweetener For sweetness.
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice For bright acidity.
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest Enhances the lemon flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric or a few drops of yellow food coloring Optional, for color.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large measuring cup, whisk together all the ingredients—starting with the Greek yogurt.
- Add the sugar, followed by the lemon juice and lemon zest. If using, add turmeric or food coloring.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Churning
- If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture directly into the chilled machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid.
- Once frozen, allow it to thaw slightly, then blend the cubes in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Serving
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve experience or store in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Optionally, garnish with extra lemon zest or fresh mint leaves.
Notes
For an extra creamy texture, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or using full-fat Greek yogurt. Experiment with other citrus fruits for a fun twist.
