4 cups vanilla-flavor low-fat yogurt

4 teaspoons grated lemon peel

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup light corn syrup

Thin lemon slices

Gingersnap cookies (optional)

In a 9- to 10-inch square metal pan, mix yogurt, lemon peel, lemon juice, and corn syrup. Cover airtight and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or up to 3 weeks.

Break frozen mixture into large chunks; if too hard, let stand a few minutes at room temperature to soften. Whirl chunks in a food processor or beat with a mixer until a smooth-textured slush forms. Return slush mixture to pan. Cover and freeze until firmed slightly, 30 minutes to 3 hours. Scoop frozen yogurt into chilled bowls, decorate with lemon slices, and accompany with gingersnap cookies. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
