Updated April 22, 2020

Why this recipe works:

Full-fat yogurt brings a balance of acidity, creaminess, and fruity flavor to the dessert.
Brown sugar and cloves add subtle caramel and spice flavors to complement rich blackberry purée.

2 cups full-fat plain yogurt
1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed

Combine blackberries, yogurt, sugar, and clove in a blender and purée on high speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a mixing bowl, pressing on the purée with a ladle to strain out seeds. Stir in lemon zest. Add lemon juice and salt in 1/4 teaspoon increments until flavor tastes balanced between sweet and tart.

Churn yogurt in ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream to airtight container and chill in freezer for at least 4 to 5 hours before serving.
