Ingredients
2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
1/3 cup sugar or sweetener of choice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1/2 tsp ground turmeric or a few drops of food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a large measuring cup, whisk together all the ingredients—Greek yogurt, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and turmeric (if using).
- If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the chilled machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Once frozen, let it thaw just enough to blend easily in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately or store in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy. Garnish with extra lemon zest or mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the Greek yogurt with your favorite dairy-free yogurt alternative.
- Add fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries for a fruity twist.
- Swap lemon zest for lime zest for a tropical citrus twist.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking with sugar or a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks.
