Lemon Frozen Yogurt Ninja Creami

This Ninja Creami-specific recipe takes the classic tartness of lemon and marries it with the high-protein creaminess of Greek yogurt. By utilizing the unique "spin" technology, we achieve a texture that is closer to premium gelato than traditional frozen yogurt. It’s a bright, citrusy treat that requires minimal prep but delivers a massive flavor punch.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup honey or agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk together yogurt, milk, honey, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring you stay below the max fill line.
  3. Place the lid on the pint and freeze on a level surface for exactly 24 hours.
  4. Remove the pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami outer bowl assembly.
  5. Select the "Lite Ice Cream" or "Frozen Yogurt" program and allow the machine to process.
  6. If the texture appears crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of milk and select the "Re-spin" program.
  7. For mix-ins like graham crackers or fruit, use a spoon to create a hole in the center, add ingredients, and use the "Mix-in" program.
  8. Serve immediately for the best soft-serve consistency.

Notes

  • Ensure your freezer is set to its coldest setting for the best results with the Creami.
  • The honey acts as an anti-freeze agent; do not reduce the amount significantly, or the texture will become icy.
  • Wipe any condensation off the outside of the pint before putting it into the machine.
  • If storing leftovers, flatten the top surface before refreezing to ensure a safe spin next time.
