Last week, we highlighted creative froyo flavors from around the world. Of course, we wouldn’t forget to talk about creative froyo toppings. Here are some of the creative froyo toppings that we’ve spotted from froyo shops around the world.
Brookies, NuYo Frozen Yogurt, USA, IG @nuyo_eastlake
NuYo has multiple self-serve locations in California. They’ve just added brookies, a cross between a cookie and a brownie, to the toppings bar. Milk + Brookies first opened in 2014 in Los Angeles and the founders appeared on Shark Tank in 2015. You can still order brookies from their website but brookies are easier to find now. Trader Joe’s introduced their Brookies in 2018.
