Cooking Directions

  1. Combine sugar, lime zest and lime juice in a heatproof bowl. Add boiling water and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Add yogurt to the lime mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. (Alternatively, freeze mixture in a shallow metal pan until solid, about 6 hours. Break into chunks and process in a food processor until smooth.)
  3. Serve immediately or transfer to a storage container and let harden in the freezer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve in chilled dishes.

Yield: 8 servings

3. Still Hungry?

This frozen treat features the sweet-tart flavor of a Key lime pie--but with a fraction of the calories. It's festive scooped into hollowed-out lime or lemon halves; freeze until ready to serve.

Notes:

To make ahead

The ice will keep, covered, in the freezer for up to 2 days. Let soften in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour before serving.

  • Use the sugar!

    Ok, for those of you who are delirious about the use of Splenda as a sweetener should go back to your village because it\'s missing it\'s idiot. Use the sugar, it\'s not chemically tweaked, it\'s natural, Splenda is a ridiculous substitute for sugar and should be yanked off the shelf, truly how many recipes that taste good show a quantity of Splenda in them? Unless your into Jenny Craig and you really think that the small amount of sugar is to blame for you gut busting size wake up and just don\'t eat like a pig-----it\'s called moderation.

  • ALL SUGAR!

    robertfindahl - August 5, 2008 03:01:22 PM PST
    This is not a good use of natural food. The sugar content is too high and just not a healthy food.
    The use of Splenda may be in order here to make this a more healthy drink.
