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.
