Ice Cream VS. Frozen Yogurt

Both ice cream and frozen yogurt are a very popular frozen dessert and both are very similar, but what are the main differences between ice cream and frozen yogurt? While ice cream is available in countless flavors, frozen yogurt started out as mainly fruit flavored, but is now becoming available in 

lots of different flavors also.

Whats the main difference about the way they are made? The main ingredients in a typical ice cream flavor is milk or cream with lots of sugar and other flavor ingredients added.  The main ingredient in frozen yogurt obviously is yogurt, with added sugar and flavoring ingredients.

Because of the difference in the ingredients, ice cream is a much richer dessert and therefore has more calories in it than most frozen yogurts.  So, although frozen yogurt has more calories than regular yogurt, it still has less calories than ice cream and would be a healthier alternative to ice cream.
