This Citrus Frozen Yoghurt Trio is a refreshing and delightful dessert that combines the tangy flavors of lime, lemon, and orange. Perfect for hot summer days or as a light after-dinner treat, this frozen yoghurt recipe is simple to make and packed with zesty goodness. The Greek yogurt provides a creamy base while the citrus elements add a burst of freshness.
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of water and the gelatin powder (5g). Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- Add the sugar (130g) to the gelatin mixture and heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar and gelatin have fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (460g) with the lime zest (16g), lemon zest (30g), and orange zest (30g) until well combined and smooth.
- Pour in the lime juice (16g), lemon juice (5g), and orange juice (16g) into the yogurt mixture. Whisk until fully combined.
- Slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the yogurt and citrus mixture. Stir continuously to make sure it is well incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until well chilled.
- Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (this usually takes about 20-25 minutes). If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Once churned, transfer the frozen yogurt to a storage container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours or until firm. Scoop into bowls or cones and serve!
With just a few simple steps and ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing Citrus Frozen Yoghurt Trio that will impress your family and friends. The vibrant citrus flavors combined with creamy Greek yogurt make this dessert a perfect balance of tart and sweet. Enjoy this delightful treat on a warm day or anytime you need a citrusy pick-me-up.
