Food Battle: Sorbet vs. FroYo


Do you know the difference between a sorbet and a frozen yogurt (or fondly called as froyo)? If you're a regular human being with no allergies, not diabetic and not lactose intolerant, you probably would not even care because both taste good. Unfortunately, I fall under the lactose intolerant category but still gobble on some ice cream and froyo goodness from time to time and then the bathroom calls (but that's another story...).

Picture-wise, you can't tell what the difference is between the yellow and pink scoops. But if ever you have tried styling them, you'll notice that the froyo is easier to shape than the sorbet due to the fact that the froyo has dairy while the sorbet doesn't contain any dairy and is made out of fruit, water and sugar only. Making a circular ball out of sorbet requires some professional skills or it can turn out into crumbled flakes, especially if it has been under very low temperature.

Which one would you prefer? A sorbet or a froyo?

  1. Interesting... I was clueless, and considered them synonyms. By the way, after our shared dessert addiction, how did I not know you were lactose intolerant?
