Lemon Ginger Yogurt Ice Cream

6 servings

35 minutes

Lemon-ginger yogurt ice cream is an unusual blend of citrus freshness and the spicy kick of ginger, framed by the creamy texture of yogurt. This dessert is inspired by Italian gelato traditions but has a modern and bold flavor twist. The lemon acidity awakens the senses, refreshing with every bite, while ginger adds a subtle warming spice. The lightness of buttermilk and yogurt makes the ice cream airy, perfect for summer enjoyment. With its refined taste, it serves as a delightful finale to an exquisite dinner or a refreshing afternoon treat on a hot day. Serve with a mint leaf or a small piece of candied ginger to highlight the flavor interplay.
