Frozen yogurt
Tangy and creamy, lighter and less rich than ice cream.
Lens analyzedFrozen yogurt is a churned frozen dessert made from yogurt rather than cream, giving it a tangier edge and often a lighter texture than ice cream. Store-bought pints vary a lot in how much actual yogurt versus cream or stabilizer they contain.
Where it comes from
Frozen yogurt built its own following in North America starting in the 1970s and 80s as a tangier alternative to ice cream, eventually spawning the self-serve froyo shop format that took off in the 2000s.
Buying it
Check the ingredient list for actual yogurt cultures near the top rather than mostly cream and sugar, since some frozen yogurt products lean closer to ice cream.
Storing it
Keep the container tightly sealed in the freezer, and press plastic wrap against the surface once it's opened to slow ice crystal formation.
Keeps about 6 months in the freezer.
