Frozen yogurt became popular in the United States in the 1970s as a lower‑fat alternative to ice cream, often marketed as a healthier dessert. It gained a cult following in the early 2000s with the rise of self‑serve fro‑yo shops, blending the tang of yogurt with the creaminess of ice cream.

In the U.S., frozen yogurt varies from the tart, low‑fat styles found in chain fro‑yo shops to richer, Greek‑style versions that use full‑fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture. Some regions add local fruit purées or honey, while others incorporate mix‑ins like candy or nuts.

It is typically served in small cups or scooped onto plates, often topped with a thin chocolate shell, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of sea salt, making it a quick, indulgent snack or light dessert.

This treat is popular for after‑school snacks, summer pool parties, quick post‑work desserts, and as a low‑calorie alternative for holiday gatherings where a frozen treat is desired.
