Components of Frozen Yogurt


Frozen yogurt has a distinct, tangy flavor from that of ice cream. While both ice cream and frozen yogurt are dairy products, the later of the two has a unique flavor because of the cultures that yogurt contains.

Frozen yogurt and ice cream are made in much the same way with many of the same ingredients. The main difference, besides the yogurt culture added to frozen yogurt, is the fact that it needs water and air. Added to the mix, air creates volume. Water is added to help the yogurt achieve a partially solid state. Frozen yogurt is never completely frozen; rather it simply contains ice crystals.

Again, like ice cream, the biggest component to frozen yogurt is milk. The difference between the two lies in the amount of Milk fat. Milk fat lends a rich taste to the two and is where the "creamy" texture comes in to play. In frozen yogurt, milk solids not the fat make up a good portion of it.
