Hello, I'm new to Lausanne? Does anyone know where I can buy frozen yogurt to take home and/or eat out? Someone mentioned Migros is another post. I looked in my local store, but did not see it. Would it be called "yogurt congelado?" Thanks for your help.

Hi NEiSuisse,

What is your local store?

Maybe try Globus in the town centre. They have specialty products.

It wouldn't be "yogurt congelado" because that's Spanish.

Try yogourt glacé or glace yogourt.

to the EF, fellow New Englander! Which part of NE do you hail from?

When I lived in California, what you lot call frozen yoghurt, was just like normal ice cream to me - I really couldn't notice any difference - not even a hint of sourness.

Just another self justification of pseudo healthy eating, typical of the colonialists.

For the genuine article, buy flavoured yoghurt of your choosing, stick a lolly stick through the foil lid and bung in the freezer for a couple or so hours - that is proper frozen yoghurt, and not fancy ice cream hiding behind another name.

Do you mean just frozen yogurt in the store or like all those frozen yogurt places in the states? in bern you can get frozen yogurt with your chose of toppings in loeb, and otherwise i have seen it in coop. i think magnum has some frozen yogurt bars..

There is one place in Nyon, near to the lake. The best I had here in Switzerland, and it is just a short bike ride from Lausanne.

The other option is to buy an ice cream maker and make your own, frozen yogurt is very easy to make, also when not making frozen yogurt or ice cream with the ice cream maker you can use it to make frozen cocktails

Thanks for all the suggestions. I love the ice cream maker idea. RetiredInNH - I am from the best state in New England, New Hamphire - mostly southern and as far West as Peterborough and as East as Portsmouth. TiMow. I have lived in California for the past 5 years, so I have grown to love soft frozen yogurt (Yumi Yougurt, Yougurt Delight, Pinkberry, Wow Cow, etc), but I thinking finding soft frozen yogurt is expecting too much. At this point I would be happy with anything, especially a dark chocolate frozen yogurt.

Here's the recipe for choc fro-yo as they say in the article David Lebovitz is king. Might well make this one myself, but first I have to chocolate fruit and nut ice cream for my wife

That looks fantastic, thank you. I am going to go start researching ice cream makers.

Allow me to provide some input, basically you have two types, one where you pre-freeze the bowl and the other that has a built in chiller, they both work equally well, but unless you want to take up freezer space by having the pre-freeze bowl in the freezer the whole time you have to plan your ice cream making with the pre-freeze ones.

Of course there is a quite a big price difference between them I would guess about 100-150chf more for one that self chills. I would avoid the cuisinart ice cream professional as it is very noisy, I bought a UNOLD one in Germany when we lived in Luxembourg, pretty cheap, very quiet and still going strong 2 years later, I usually make a batch of ice cream a week.

For recipe books the two I use most are David Lebovitz: The Perfect Scoop, and Ben and Jerrys recipe book.

The final tip is when making ice cream once you've made the mix, let it rest overnight in the fridge.
