Ingredients
  

For the Cranberry Sauce 

  • 1 cup water 
  • 1 cup sugar (200 g)
  • 1 340 grams package fresh cranberries Or Canned cranberries

For the Cranberry Yogurt 

  • 1 ¾ cups plain whole milk yogurt 440 g
  • ¾ cup (3 ounces) powdered sugar, sifted 90 g
  • ½ cup heavy cream 120 g
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup fresh cranberry sauce, chilled + some extra for serving 115 g

Instructions
 

  • Step 1:
    First, take water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, then add the cranberries. Reduce the flame and simmer the mixture. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes or until the cranberries burst. At this point, the sauce will be slightly thickened.
  • Step 2:
    Now you should turn off the flame and let the sauce cool at room temperature. Once it has cooled completely, you can put it in the fridge.
    You might notice that the sauce is much more than is needed for the recipe. That is intentional. You will need the extra sauce at the time of serving

For the Cranberry Yogurt

  • Step 1:
    Take the yogurt, powdered sugar, cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk these ingredients until they turn nice and velvety. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
    Freeze this mixture in an ice cream maker, according to its instruction.
  • Step 2:
    While the yogurt mixture is freezing, take another bowl and pour half a cup of cranberry sauce in it. Use the back of a spoon to crush the berry bits in the sauce.
    The tiny berry pieces are okay; you don’t have to crush them.
  • Step 3:
    When the yogurt mixture is frozen, quickly put it in a medium bowl. Add the cranberry sauce and gently incorporate it into the yogurt with a rubber spatula.
  • Step 4:
    Let this mixture set in the freezer; this would take at least 30 to 60 minutes. Take the frozen yogurt out when it is slightly set and has a light texture.
    Now comes the part where you enjoy a scoop of delicious frozen cranberry yogurt with a dollop of cranberry sauce. Just remember to let it soften a bit before eating.
