Description:
This lemon frozen yogurt is fresh, creamy, and slightly tart—perfect for hot summer days! It’s dairy-free, made with plant-based yogurt, and very easy to make using the Ninja Creami machine.
What Is a Ninja Creami?
The Ninja Creami is a kitchen machine that turns frozen mixtures into creamy desserts like ice cream, frozen yogurt, milkshakes, and smoothie bowls. It works by spinning and scraping the frozen ingredients until they’re smooth and creamy—just like store-bought ice cream.
Can I Use a Blender Instead?
Yes, you can! Pour the mixture into ice cube trays, freeze it, then blend it in a high-speed blender. It won’t be as scoopable as with the Ninja Creami, but it will still taste great.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened vegan yogurt
- ½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 medium lemon)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 3 tablespoons agave nectar (or other liquid sweetener)
Instructions:
- Add all the ingredients into your Ninja Creami pint container.
- Stir well until everything is mixed evenly.
- Place the container on a flat surface in your freezer.
- Freeze for 24 hours.
- After freezing, spin in the Ninja Creami using the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Frozen Yogurt” setting.
- If the mixture looks crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons of plant-based milk and use the “Re-spin” setting until smooth.
Tips & Tricks:
- You can store leftover frozen yogurt by smoothing the top and placing the container back in the freezer. It will stay creamy and delicious.
- Try other flavors by swapping the lemon zest and juice with orange, lime, grapefruit, or other fruit extracts.
Notes:
- This frozen yogurt is vegan and healthier than regular ice cream. You can adjust the sweetener type and amount as you like.
