Ingredients:
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.
- Scoop into bowls and enjoy your refreshing Lemon Curd Frozen Yogurt!
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor in your lemon curd.
- Ensure the Greek yogurt is well-chilled before mixing it with the lemon curd for a smoother texture.
- To prevent the lemon curd from curdling, cook it over a low to medium heat and stir constantly.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your taste.
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute some of the Greek yogurt with a bit of heavy cream.
Lemon curd frozen yogurt is a refreshing dessert that balances the tartness of lemon with the creaminess of Greek yogurt. By following these steps and tips, you can create a delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion.
