Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland has partnered with Knott’s Berry Farm for a new froyo flavor, inspired by Knott’s Famous Boysenberry Pie and it arrives in stores on Monday, March 18. Guests can top their Boysenberry Pie frozen yogurt with mini boysenberry shortbread cookies. Also, Yogurtland stores will have coupons to save up to $30 on admission to Knott’s Boysenberry Festival, March 29 – April 28.
Back in the early 1900s, Charles Rudolph Boysen created a hybrid fruit by crossing a blackberry and a raspberry. Then Walter Knott of Knott’s Berry Farm started growing boysenberries commercially and making boysenberry preserves. Knott’s Berry Farm is considered the birthplace of the boysenberry. Yogurtland got its start not that far from Knott’s, so the new boysenberry pie froyo is very much a product of the OC.
* Knott’s Berry Farm Boysenberry Pie frozen yogurt (lowfat, made with real boysenberry): The yogurt was thick, smooth, and creamy. It wasn’t tangy, even though boysenberries are supposed to be tangy. The flavor was milder than I expected, more like a cross between a grape and a strawberry than a cross between two tart berries. The mini boysenberry shortbread cookies paired well with the yogurt, reminiscent of buttery pie crust. The center was chewy, while the shortbread was thick and crispy. Recommended toppings: Blackberries, lots of whipped cream, boysenberry shortbread cookies.

Each spoonful of Yogurtland’s Boysenberry Pie frozen yogurt flavor is bursting with the jammy richness and sweet and tart taste of fresh boysenberries followed by hints of a butter sweet pie crust. Inspired by the world-class award-winning pies, it’s creamy and delicious, and no doubt Mrs. Knott herself would approve. For an added boysenberry touch, Yogurtland will be serving mini boysenberry shortbread cookies as a topping option.
“We are thrilled to be working in collaboration with Knott’s Berry Farm to celebrate, in frozen yogurt form, one of Knott’s famous food attractions - the boysenberry pie,” said Jennifer Ehrencron, Yogurtland’s senior marketing manager. “Our new Knott’s Boysenberry Pie froyo flavor gives fans of both brands something special to savor over and over again.”
Knott’s Berry Farm started as a farm and evolved into a small fruit stand which has since grown into a world-famous destination known for thrilling rides, famous fried chicken dinners and delicious boysenberry pies. From the beginning, food and dining has been at the heart of the Knott’s Berry Farm experience. The Knott’s Boysenberry Festival is an annual event that celebrates the park’s historic roots by highlighting the little berry that started it all, the boysenberry.
The new Yogurtland - Knott’s Boysenberry Pie frozen yogurt will arrive in Yogurtland stores on March 18, days before the Knott’s Boysenberry Festival begins on March 29. When fans enjoy their Boysenberry Pie frozen yogurt at Yogurtland, they can also pick up a coupon good for up to $30 off one admission to Knott’s Berry Farm.
