Ingredients

  • 6 medium lemons for serving

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • ¼ cup water

  • 1 ½ cups whole-milk plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 6 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. If desired, prepare frozen lemon cups for serving: Cut off lemon tops and a thin slice from the bottoms (so the "cup" sits flat). Discard tops and bottoms. Squeeze the juice out of the lemons (use 6 tablespoons of the juice to make the frozen yogurt or freeze for another use). Using a paring knife, remove the flesh and seeds from each lemon, leaving a thin cup. Freeze the cups for at least 1 hour or until ready to use.

  2. Warm sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add yogurt, buttermilk and lemon juice; whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 3 hours or overnight.

  3. Pour the mixture into the canister of an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Pipe into the frozen lemon cups, if using, or leave in the canister; freeze for 1 hour to firm up before serving. Transfer to an airtight container to freeze for up to 1 week.

Tips

Equipment: Ice cream maker

To make ahead: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
