Sugar-Free Lemon Frozen Yogurt 🍋🍨

Hey there!

If you’re looking for a creamy, refreshing dessert that’s light, tangy, and completely guilt-free, this sugar-free lemon frozen yogurt is going to be your new favorite treat.

It’s super easy to make, packed with zesty lemon flavor, and the best part?

No added sugar—just natural sweetness!

I’ve made this countless times for my family, and it’s always a hit, especially with the kids.

Let’s dive in and whip this up together.

What You’ll Need:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat work best)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
Zest of 2 lemons
1/3 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Pro Tips:

Use fresh lemons for the best flavor—bottled juice just doesn’t cut it!
If you don’t have powdered sweetener, blend granulated sweetener in a blender until fine.
Chill the yogurt and lemon juice beforehand for quicker freezing.
Taste the mix before freezing—you can always add more sweetener or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Use full-fat yogurt for the creamiest texture, especially if making it for picky eaters.

Tools You’ll Need:

Mixing bowl
Whisk
Microplane or zester
Citrus juicer
Ice cream maker (optional but recommended)
Freezer-safe container

Substitutions and Variations:

Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt to make it dairy-free.
Add a handful of fresh blueberries or raspberries for a fruity twist.
Use lime juice and zest instead of lemon for a lime version.
Sweeten with stevia drops or agave syrup instead of erythritol.

Make-Ahead Tips:

Prepare the mixture up to a day in advance and refrigerate it before freezing.
Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh and scoopable for up to a week.

Instructions:

1.Mix the Base

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

2.Churn or Freeze

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes). If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour it into a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and stir every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours until it reaches a creamy consistency.

3.Store and Serve

Once the yogurt is frozen to your desired consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container for storage or scoop it directly into bowls. Garnish with extra lemon zest or a sprig of mint for a pop of color.

Leftovers and Storage:

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
Let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before scooping if it’s too firm.
