There are many different types of frozen desserts available for
you to enjoy today. One of the most popular of these is frozen yogurt,
which comes in many different flavors and varieties. It is typically
made with fermented milk and a combination of other dairy products. It
has a more tart flavor than ice cream, since it is made from milk rather
than cream.
Frozen yogurt has a fairly short history and first became part of the American culture in New England in the 1970s as a soft serve, known as Frogurt. Then, in 1978, the first packaged one began appearing on shelves by various companies in various forms. These were thought to be great low-calorie alternatives to ice cream. Initially customers did not like its tart flavor, however, so more sugar was added to make it a little sweeter. This resulted in a new decade of business, leading to the re-introduction of it on the market today, usually in small stores inside strip malls.
How is this dessert made? The fermented milk, the sweetener, the bacterial cultures, and the milk solids are mixed together with both the natural and artificial flavors and colors. The milk fat is then added to help add richness to your yogurt as it is right around 10% of the volume. Some manufacturers use cane or beet sugar for the sweetener as well as additives from either plants or animals to allow for crystallization so that it stays smooth.
If the manufacturing company is large enough, it will have an assembly line that performs all the adding and mixing of ingredients. It will need to be homogenized and when it reaches 32 degrees celcius, the probiotic cultures are added, then the yogurt mix is cooled to 0 degrees Celsius and allowed to age for 4 hours. At this time, the preferred sweetener is added to the mix. To get extra volume to it, you will then need to cool it below -5 degrees. Air is then added to the mixture and once the right amount is added, it is quickly frozen to prevent it from growing ice crystals. You can also make it in a soft serve machine. When you are making it this way, you can add as much of any ingredient as you want.
Today, frozen yogurt is often enjoyed on the same scale as ice cream and is available in many different flavors and styles. Some companies allow you to choose from a buffet of toppings to accompany your dessert, while others allow you to choose to enjoy it either in a cup or a cone. While some dessert stores offer yogurt that is more on the tart side, others make it taste more like ice cream. No matter how you like it, there is a delicious dessert for your taste.
