How people cook with it

- Enjoy straight from the freezer.

Allow the frozen yogurt to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve and enhances its creamy texture. It can be enjoyed in a bowl, cone, or as a base for more elaborate desserts. For milkshakes, combine a few scoops with milk and blend until smooth. It also pairs well with warm baked goods, providing a cool contrast.
