Morphology
The compound is a straightforward noun phrase formed by an adjective 'frozen' (made icy/solid) modifying the noun 'yogurt' (a creamy fermented milk product), so the meaning 'yogurt in frozen form' is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English modification rules, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it refers to a frozen dessert made from yogurt.
Etymology
The noun frozen yogurt comes from the simple idea of taking yogurt and making it frozen, like ice cream, to create a cold, soft treat that shops sell with toppings. So, it now means 'a soft, frozen dessert made from sweetened and flavored yogurt'.
