Lemon Blueberry Frozen Yogurt with Gluten-Free Crumble
Incredibly creamy homemade frozen yogurt with bright lemon and blueberry flavors, studded with golden cinnamon-maple crumble clusters. Made in a food processor with no ice cream maker required!
Equipment
- Food processor with S-blade
- 8x8 baking pan
- Freezer-safe container (8-cup capacity)
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
For the Frozen Yogurt Base:
- 3 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt chilled
- Zest of 1 lemon about 1 tablespoon
- Juice of 1 lemon about 2 tablespoons
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup plus extra to taste, optional
- Pinch of fine sea salt optional
For the Gluten-Free Crumble:
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine sea salt optional
Instructions
Make the Crumble:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, and salt. Add maple syrup and vanilla, stirring until oats are evenly coated and begin to clump together.
- Press mixture firmly into baking pan in a single ½-inch thick layer.
- Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown, pressing the layer back together every 5 minutes to encourage larger clusters.
- Cool completely, then break into ½-¾ inch chunks. Set aside.
Make the Frozen Yogurt:
- In food processor, combine chilled Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt.
- Add maple syrup and blueberries. Process on medium speed until mixture is pale lavender with small blueberry flecks visible, not fully liquefied.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired.
- Transfer to shallow freezer-safe container (I use a loaf pan) and freeze 2 hours until edges are firm but center remains scoopable.
- Fold in crumble clusters evenly throughout. Cover and freeze 2-3 hours more until firm.
- Let sit 5-10 minutes before scooping. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture
Don't over-process the blueberries – small flecks add texture and visual appeal
Press crumble mixture firmly during baking to create larger, more stable clusters
Store covered for up to 2 weeks; reserve extra crumble for topping if desired
