I will be anxious to hear how the yoghurt-ginger works out especially with the added crystallized ginger. 

 

Here's the Fresh Ginger Frozen Yogurt from Dana Cree's Hello, My Name is Ice Cream.  Once it finished spinning, I used a spatula to make a space in the middle and dropped in the diced crystalized ginger, smoothed it over a bit and ran the mix-in cycle.

Sorry for the crappy photo. I steamed slices of crystalized ginger to soften them up before dicing.  My goal was pleasantly chewy little nuggets, not alarming pebbles.

I achieved that goal. Hard to see here, but the cubes are intact, not pulverized and are pretty uniformly distributed.  I got 1 or 2 in each bite.  It's very ginger-y. The texture is fairly soft, as might be expected with 2 cycles of the machine, but perfectly scoop able.

For the lemon ice cream, I spooned the ice cream out of the Ninja container ~ 1/3 at a time and spread it out in a plastic container, drizzling lemon curd over each layer like so:

This would probably work better with 2 pints in a larger container but some preliminary scoops suggest I can get a bit of lemon curd in each scoop, which is what I wanted.  It's very lemony. 

 

I've got half pints of straight chocolate and chocolate + Chartreuse freezing now.
