In the tubpintScale reads
Put the empty tubpint (or your pan) on the kitchen scale and press zero. Add each ingredient until the scale shows the number on the right.
Mix-ins
Mix-ins go in at the end, after spinning, so they are not in the tubpint drawing.
Mix everything in one big bowl, then divide it evenly between 2 tubspints.

My notes
Tips
- Lemon curd is sold in jars near the jams in most supermarkets. Lime or orange curd works the same way.
- For a sharper froyo, whisk in 1 tbsp lemon juice with the yogurt.
- Leftovers: smooth the top flat, refreeze, then run Frozen Yogurt again before serving. That spin blends the old ribbons in, so add 1 tbsp fresh curd with Mix-in.
Why it works
Rubbing the zest into the sugar releases its oils, so the froyo tastes strongly of lemon without extra juice. Lemon curd added with Mix-in stays in ribbons, because the program folds it in instead of blending it smooth.
