Frozberry

When I was little, my family had a big crush on frozen yogurt. This was before the days of Pinkberry and Red Mango, when frozen yogurt tasted like frozen yogurt, not frozen chemicals blended with some citrus flavoring, and was called Frozen Yogurt. The «FroYo» of my day was TCBY (stands for The Country’s Best Yogurt”) and it was all of that, and more, to my 8 year old sweets loving heart. They had three flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and vanilla blended with chocolate, and that was it. Simplicity in it’s best form, IMHO.
In a moment of weakness a few years ago I figured I’d see what the rage was about and set foot in the new Pinkberry that had just taken up residence in my neighborhood in New York. For possibly the first time ever, I didn’t finish my dessert, I was that disappointed. I hadn’t gone near another FroYo chain since.
Until last Friday.
When I moved to Frederiksberg last fall, I took note that an Evil FroYo (Frozberry) place was a couple blocks from my new home. I vowed to ban it immediately, and so as far as I was concerned, it was an empty void on an otherwise charming Falkoner Allé filled with all sorts of delicious food possibilities. And then Friday I was with a friend and she talked me into giving it a try. And they let me taste the flavors (there are like, 12, by the way) before committing.
One spoonful of the pure and simple vanilla and I was immediately transported back to my 8 year old world of The Country’s Best Yogurt. It was magnificent.
Pro-​tip: if you’re watching your sugar intake, they have two totally fantastic options for you: plain frozen yogurt without any flavors added (low sugar), and plain sweetened with stevia. Both are delicious.

finally, frozen yogurt comes to copenhagen! with the self-​serve machines and all. even the green and pink shop design looks very familiar.
my litmus test for these places is plain yogurt. this one had good flavour and consistency, with no icy bits in the soft-​serve. i prefer it a bit more sour but i don’t think that’s a very popular flavour profile in denmark, judging by the candy selection in supermarkets and movie theaters. i added strawberries on top, which were nice. but they had a bit of syrup as well so i somehow doubt they are those lovely fresh summer strawberries we love so much in denmark.
the place was clean and there were no chocolaty bits in the fruity bits over at the topping station. i noticed that there were more chocolate/​caramel/​candy selections than fresh fruit, but hey; this isn’t california where people grow anything and everything. i can understand that the owner doesn’t want to lose money to people like my husband who love a frozen yogurt piled high with fresh blueberries, which is then paid by weight. all in all, it’s a pretty good first try.
