\"\"It’s probably a known fact to you that I avoid refined sugar in my recipes. You might have even noticed that many of my recent recipes have been grain free, as I seem to do well without sugars and grain starches in my system.<\/div>\n

However, dairy is still part of my daily diet. I have tried to go dairy-free every now and then for a few days, but didn’t notice any changes in my well-being. If I had to, I guess I could give up cheeses and milk without much ado. The problem would be to give up yogurt. I have yogurt about everyday, although I have switched to goats yogurt wherever I can.<\/p>\n

And then there is my secret weakness for ice cream. Which I only give in occasionally, when we go out and the kids want a scoop. In the grocery store, I can resist the family boxes as the contents and\/or length of their ingredients list usually puts me off.<\/b><\/p>\n

So why did it take me so long to discover homemade frozen yogurt? It kills two birds with one stone: control over the ingredients and satisfying my occasional cravings for ice cream. The ingredients list is amazingly short: yogurt, flavor, and sweetener. No ice cream maker needed. No cooking involved. If you have access to raw yogurt and raw honey, this dessert will even be raw.<\/p>\n

It is important though to strain as much water out of the yogurt as possible. The less the water content, the creamier your frozen yogurt will be. I am in love with this. I even prefer it to ice creams, as I love the tangy flavor that the yogurt brings with it, instead of the pure creaminess that cream or milk in regular ice cream has. A truly refreshing and guilt-free simmer dessert.

LEMON FROZEN YOGURT<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Print Recipe<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2 cups whole milk yogurt (1 1\/2 cups Greek Yogurt)<\/div>\n
1\/4 cup honey<\/div>\n
1\/2 lemon, juice of<\/div>\n
1\/2 lemon, zest of<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Serves 4-6<\/div>\n

————————————————————-
\nIf you use regular whole milk yogurt, strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel for two hours. Discard the whey. You will be left with about 1 1\/2 cups strained yogurt.<\/p>\n

Mix strained or Greek yogurt with honey and lemon zest and lemon juice. Pour the lemon yogurt mixture into a shallow bowl or pan. Freeze until almost solid, about 1-2 hours. Take out of the freezer, and thoroughly stir it with a fork. Put back into freezer and freeze until solid.
\nScoop out the frozen mixture and place it into a food processor. Pulse until smooth. Transfer frozen yogurt to airtight container and return to freezer until ready to serve.
\nScoop into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh fruit. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
