Description
-
If desired, prepare frozen lemon cups for serving: Cut off lemon tops and a thin slice from the bottoms (so the "cup" sits flat). Discard tops and bottoms. Squeeze the juice out of the lemons (use 6 tablespoons of the juice to make the frozen yogurt or freeze for another use). Using a paring knife, remove the flesh and seeds from each lemon, leaving a thin cup. Freeze the cups for at least 1 hour or until ready to use.
-
Warm sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add yogurt, buttermilk and lemon juice; whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 3 hours or overnight.
-
Pour the mixture into the canister of an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Pipe into the frozen lemon cups, if using, or leave in the canister; freeze for 1 hour to firm up before serving. Transfer to an airtight container to freeze for up to 1 week.
