My hubby gave me a new ice cream machine and I couldn’t wait to break it in, so I made Lemon Frozen Yogurt!
So a week ago was my husbands birthday. I wanted to break in my new KitchenAid Ice Cream attachment he bought me so I decided to do a frozen yogurt. He doesn’t like overly sweet things so frozen yogurt works well for him. When I asked my kiddos what flavor we should make my son said lemon. All in all that was the absolute best thing he could of said. My husband always goes for the fruit flavor frozen yogurts, gelatos or ice cream. This was super quick and fast to make.When making this frozen yogurt, I really think the key was whipping the cream first just a bit. Not too much or you would have whipping cream on your hands. The lemon was a strong great flavor but adding the zest gave it a little more ump after it froze. I personally think this was best the first day before it became too hard from being frozen. We actually ate off it for a week but it took some thawing out before we could dig into it. No worries though just set it out 20 minutes or so before you want to eat it or zap it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it up if you can’t wait. Freezer temperatures and the container you store it in can change how solid this gets for you. Based on what I used it was completely solid and frozen after 6 hours. ENJOY!

I think your son is quite smart, lemon sounds like the perfect flavor (I’m a bit partial)!

I love that you used lemon Greek yogurt in this! How cool is that?! I need to get the KitchenAid ice cream attachment. I’ve been wanting it for forever. Either that or the Cuisinart ice cream maker. This is the first ice cream I’ll make when I get one of those! 🙂 Thanks for sharing on Saturday Night Fever – pinned to our group board!
