I'm really not a fan of warm and humid weather, it's just that we'd have at least liked to do some outdoors stuff. Picnics in the park? Too wet. Swimming? Not in this cold weather! Car trips? Well, we've had a few of those, but driving in the rain isn't that fun. At least the lack of warm weather didn't stop me from making refreshing desserts. It's technically still Summer and gosh darn it, I'm making the most of it!
So for Grace's Beat the Heat event I made this Lemon-Lime Frozen Yogurt. To me, nothing says refreshing like lemon or lime and the two together are a perfect match. I found this recipe on Dessert First, via Food Blog Search, and adapted it a little to get what I wanted.
I hope you like lemon-lime Grace! Eating this, it felt a lot more like Summer time, I think I even saw the sun peaking through the clouds for a little while... Just a little while though.

Lemon-Lime Frozen Yogurt
Adapted from Dessert First
3 cups plain whole milk yogurt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 tbsp lemon zest
1/2 tbsp lime zest
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients together. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Using your ice cream maker of choice, freeze into pure bliss. Enjoy!

Refreshing and citrusy-- great combination for the summer! Well, even if it feels more like fall, heh heh :) I hope the sun comes out and melts your insides! In a good way!
What a great entry - I love lemon and lime!
That first photo of the zest is so amazingly colorful! It must have been a zesty, refreshing treat!
Oh, I love lemon and lime, sweetie! Send some over, please! And I don't even care it's cold here. :)
Lemon + lime is a favorite of mine so I think I'd love this. Hope the sun comes out soon and gives you a little bit of summer. If not, head down to Southern California. We've got plenty to pass around!
I will happily ship you my high 90's low 100's weather for some cool rainy days! The frozen yogurt looks light and refreshing.
Your making my mouth water! I love frozen yogurt!

this really is the perfect beat-the-heat dish. frozen yogurt is a gimme, but lemon-lime just screams REFRESHMENT. i love it. thank you. :)
That sounds really tart and refreshing.
I LOVE the zest! Love it.
This looks so tasty!
My kind of summer refresher! This looks amazing. IKWYM about the rain. Everyone around me is complaining, but I like the coolness. The down side is that it is making stuff in my garden rot, and that is bad. Guess I don't have good drainage or something, but stuff is turning brown and that is bad. :(
Those zest looks yummy enough to be eaten just like that... :D

That looks wonderful! I'm gonna have to buy myself an ice cream maker!
Mmm, this looks perfectly delicious and refreshing. If you close your eyes and lick, I'm sure it tastes just like a hot summer day with sweat trickling down the back of your neck. I love the pictures!
although its not too hot up there in Canada, I bet that sorbet was delightful anyways~
wow i can feel the burst of citrussy flavour!! lovely entry.
It's beautiful! I can almost taste it, too.
We're having the same weather, by the way! Very cool and rainy.
This looks so refreshing and light, and here in Los Angeles, it's been decidedly summer like. This is the perfect remedy!
Oh, this looks divine. Must try it.
we've had similar weather here...very fallish! I bet on Friday when it is time for me to move, it will be either hot or raining! :) the yogurt looks delicious! very refreshing!
Your frozen yogurt looks so refreshing! It is such a healthy alternative to icecream. By the way, don't you just love the microplane.
The photos of the zest are absolutely gorgeous! Makes me want to go zest something right now, and I don't even have anything to do with it :)
