Over here, frozen yogurt doesn’t have a specific best-by date, as long as it’s been in the freezer for at least three months. But some brands will include an estimated thaw time on their packaging—usually somewhere between two and four days. If you freeze yogurt longer than that, it can start to thaw and get unappetizingly icy, especially in warmer weather.

Does frozen yogurt keep in the freezer?

The short answer is yes, frozen yogurt does keep in the freezer, and frozen yogurt does not expire. Depending on how long the yogurt was frozen before being thawed, the texture will change. When made with fresh ingredients, like Chobani’s Greek yogurt, it will get thicker when thawed. If the yogurt is thawed too long, it will break down and get soft. If that happens, it’s best to start over with a new batch.

Does frozen yogurt expire?

Unlike many other types of frozen desserts, yogurt doesn’t expire. Because of its high fat content, yogurt can last up to one year on the shelf in the freezer. However, to keep it tasty, it’s best to thaw it and re-freeze it every few weeks.
