Frozen yogurt (also frozen yoghurt or frogurt or frgrt) is a frozen dessert made from or containing yogurt or dairy analogues. 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 more slowly than ice cream since yogurt has a much higher freezing and melting point 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 can be easily purchased. Natural "Sugar Free" frozen yogurt is often flavored with fructose instead of regular sugar.
Although frozen yogurt has been made for many years, it did not catch on until the 1990s.
Frozen yogurt is served as a low-fat or fat-free alternative to ice cream.
It also played a pivotal role in the New York mayor's race in the Seinfeld episode "The Non-Fat Yogurt."
