Frozen yogurt (also frozen yoghurt, Froyo or frogurt) is a frozen
dessert made from or containing
yogurt or
dairy analogues. Frozen yogurt is served as a low-fat or fat-free alternative to
ice cream. It may or may not contain active cultures.Typically frozen yogurt will contain low- or no-fat yogurt, sweetener,
gelatin,
corn syrup,
coloring and flavoring. Frozen yogurt is typically made in an ice cream machine. Frozen yogurt both freezes and melts much slower than ice cream since yogurt has a much higher
enthalpy of fusion than
milk. Frozen yogurt is flavored typically in the same flavors as ice cream but since it is made with low-fat or fat-free yogurt instead of cream or milk, it has a much lower fat content. Sugar-free versions of frozen yogurt are readily available. Frozen yogurt flavored with
fructose is marketed for people sensitive to sugar, such as diabetics. Frozen yogurt is often eaten by lactose-sensitve people in place of ice cream, as the live cultures can help digest the lactose. Live culture
probiotic frozen yogurt served in the likes of
Yogen Fruz have seen added demand by health conscious consumers returning to smarter alternatives.
