What is frozen Greek yogurt?
Frozen Greek yogurt is a frozen dessert made with Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is yogurt that has been strained to remove much of its whey, which makes it thicker and tangier than many regular yogurts. Frozen, it becomes a creamy, lighter-feeling treat.
How is it different from regular frozen yogurt or ice cream?
Ice cream is made with cream, while frozen Greek yogurt starts from strained yogurt. Many people notice a gentle tang and a thicker texture. Recipes vary between shops: some use Greek yogurt as the main ingredient, while others blend it with milk, cream or sweeteners, so it is always worth asking what is in your cup.
What toppings go well with it?
Greek desserts often pair yogurt with honey, nuts and fruit. At Grecyo you can add blueberries, strawberries, pistachios, granola, figs and honey. See the menu for what is available today.
