Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine your milk choice, lemon juice, lemon zest, sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until the sweetener fully dissolves
Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, careful not to exceed the 'Max Fill' line
Place the lid on and freeze for at least 24 hours
Remove the pint from the freezer and check the mixture for a 'hump'. Scrape it flat, then insert into the Ninja Creami machine and select the 'Light Ice Cream' or 'Gelato' setting
If the texture is crumbly, add one tablespoon of milk and run the 'Re-spin' cycle
Scoop the gelato into bowls and garnish as desired

Notes

Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.

For a vegan version, substitute skim milk with coconut or oat milk.

Let the pint sit out for 5 minutes before re-spinning if the gelato is too firm.
