This tangy, honey-sweetened lemon blueberry frozen yogurt is a delightful summer treat. Use full fat yogurt for the best texture, and buy organic berries and lemon if you can.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pint (2 1/2 cups) blueberries, fresh or frozen
2/3 cup honey
1 small lemon, to be zested and juiced
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups full fat yogurt, chilled

Steps:

  • Pick through your blueberries and discard any bad berries, stems or debris. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, honey, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  • Optional step: For a smooth consistency, strain the mixture through a fine mesh colander into a bowl. Mash the blueberries with the back of a large spoon in order to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the mashed blueberries.
  • Refrigerate the blueberry mixture until it is totally and completely chilled. You can speed up this process by placing it in the freezer, stirring every 10 minutes or so, for about 45 minutes.
  • Mix together your chilled blueberry mixture and chilled yogurt, then freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker according to your manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately for a soft serve texture, or transfer the frozen yogurt to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours for a scoopable consistency.

When frozen as directed, the yogurt will have a light granita texture that can be easily scraped with a fork. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can spin the yogurt mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Time 10h35m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound frozen blueberries, thawed
1 tablespoon plus 1/3 cup honey
Two 3-inch-long sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups chilled plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/4 cup agave
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup of the blueberries, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon honey and the thyme sprigs in a small heavy saucepan. Coarsely mash the blueberries using a fork or a potato masher. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Uncover the pan and let the syrup cool slightly. Discard the thyme sprigs.
  • Place the remaining blueberries, remaining 1/3 cup honey, yogurt, agave, lemon juice and cooled blueberry syrup in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is almost smooth.
  • Transfer the yogurt mixture to a shallow glass baking dish, cover and freeze until slushy, about 2 hours. Using a fork, stir to blend. Continue to freeze until firm, at least 8 hours or overnight. Using the tines of a fork, scrape the mixture into small serving bowls or glasses. Serve immediately.
