In the manufacture of “sundae” style yogurt, fruit flavoring is deposited at the bottom of the consumer container, and the container is then filled with the yogurt mixture. To prepare a sundae style yogurt product employing a stirred style yogurt, the milk base is prepared with added thickeners and/or stabilizers to provide upon resting a yogurt texture that mimics a “set” style yogurt. In this variation, the fruit is added directly to the container, typically to the bottom, prior to filling with the yogurt.
