Instructions:
- In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar until well combined.
- Cut the butter into small cubes and set aside.
2. Cook the Mixture:
- Add the lemon zest to the egg yolk and sugar mixture.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water).
- Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens (this should take about 8-10 minutes). The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Once the mixture is thickened, remove it from the heat.
- Gradually add in the butter cubes, stirring until fully melted and incorporated into the curd.
- Pour the lemon curd into a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap ensuring the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until completely chilled.
- Once the lemon curd is chilled, fold it into the Greek yogurt until fully combined. Make sure to mix gently to keep the yogurt's creamy texture.
- Transfer the lemon curd and yogurt mixture to a freezer-safe container.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. For a softer texture, you can stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up any ice crystals.
- When ready to serve, let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
