Morphology
The meaning 'a sweet dish made by freezing ingredients' is directly and compositionally derived from 'frozen' (preserved by freezing) modifying 'dessert' (the final sweet course). This adjective + noun pattern is productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Frozen dessert shows a simple idea: a dessert that is frozen until it is cold and firm. That's why the name means a 'sweet dish' made by freezing ingredients, like ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt.
