Greek Yogurt Sorbet

When sweetened and churned in an ice-cream maker, Greek yogurt tastes like lemon cheesecake. Serve with summer fruits, fresh or cooked; with fruit pies, cobblers and crisps; or blanketed with a warm fruit sauce. I love it with fresh apricots or peaches dotted with butter and brown sugar, then broiled until they begin to caramelize. And with or without the fruit, a drizzle of honey never hurts.

Ingredients

SERVINGS: 6 Serving(s)
  • 4 cups whole-milk Greek yogurt (store-bought, or see the book to make your own!)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, sieved to eliminate lumps
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Chill well, and then freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions. Transfer to a lidded storage container, cover and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm.

At serving time, remove the sorbet from the freezer. If it is hard or icy, let stand at room temperature until soft enough to scoop. Put a generous scoop in each of 6 serving dishes.
