Frozen yogurt

Frozen yogurt is a frozen dessert, usually made with yogurt as its primary ingredient. Frozen yogurt is similar in composition to ice cream, with its main ingredient being milk or milk substitute. Frozen yogurt for retail sale is typically manufactured from a mixture of milk ingredients, sweeteners, stabilizers, and yogurt cultures. After fermentation, the mixture is cooled, aged, flavored, and frozen while air is introduced to improve texture and flavor. The product may be distributed as soft serve, or hardened for serving by the scoop. It is commonly eaten with toppings such as candy pieces, fruit, nuts, chocolate, or syrup. Branded frozen yogurt products were marketed in the United States from the late 1960s and 1970s. It became widely popular in the United States in the 1980s as a lower-fat alternative to ice cream, declined during the 1990s, and returned during the 2000s with tart and self-serve shops, then again during the mid-2010s.
