  3. Homogenize the mixture to reduce fat globule size for smoother texture.
  4. Inoculate with yogurt culture at controlled temperature.
  5. Cool and age the mixture in chilled tanks.
  6. Add flavorings/colorings and freeze with agitation to incorporate air (overrun).
  7. Package the product and perform final hardening in freezers.
