Ice cream and frozen yogurt are both frozen treats made from dairy, but there is a significant difference that sets them apart. In order for a frozen treat to be legally labeled as ice cream, it must contain at least 10 percent milkfat. This requirement is usually met through the addition of cream, and premium ice cream can contain as much as 16 percent milkfat. Frozen yogurt is not made with cream and does not have a fat requirement. Instead it is made with cultured milk such as yogurt though probiotics do not survive the freezing temperatures.
Nutritional Value
Since the difference in the ingredients of ice cream and frozen yogurt is cream, the main nutritional difference is the fat content. One cup of regular vanilla ice cream contains 275 calories, 5 grams of protein, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of fat and 9 grams of saturated fat. One cup of regular vanilla frozen yogurt contains 221 calories, 5 grams of protein, 38 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fat and 4 grams of saturated fat.

I can google.
I am looking for the more credible "off the top of your head" arguments that resonate with my 9 year old smartass.

Actually, it tastes good. I think the cream makes the yogurt better. It's pumpkin pie frozen yogurt so it has pie crust pieces and cream swirls in it.That sounds horrid.I'm having some frozen pumpkin yogurt that has some cream in it.

Frozen yogurt could be ice cream, if it had enough cream in it.
Most soft serve isn't ice cream because it doesn't need to be.
Hard (hand dipped) ice cream is typically served between 0 and 10 degrees. At that temperature the tongue actually doesn't taste much, so the product has to have a lot of butterfat for the tongue to even taste it. This is why premium ice creams that have more than 14% butterfat taste better than 10% butterfat ice creams.
Soft serve is served at around 25 degrees. Because it is warmer than hard ice cream, the tongue tastes more of it, so it doesn't need all that butterfat (which is expensive) for the tongue to experience it. So most soft serve is 5% butterfat or less, or they are frozen yogurt, which can have as little as 0% butterfat. It's cheap. The markup on it is ridiculous. Those self-serve frozen yogurt stores run around an 18% food cost. Places that serve real ice cream have upwards of 35 to 40% food costs. The cream is THAT expensive.
Legally soft serve can't even be called ice cream unless it has 10% butterfat. Dairy Queen is only 5%. They can legally call it "low fat ice cream", but I think they avoid doing that because they don't want to be associated with "low fat" products.

I have to agree with OPM. If it were the same it would be called ice cream.

Butter is made from mainly milkfat (80-82%) compared to at least 10% milkfat in cream.
The difference between froyo and ice cream is froyo uses yogurt instead of cream. Both are mainly made of milk. That's why I call froyo "low fat ice cream", or more accurately, "sugar-laden low fat ice cream".

All well and good, but I'll stick with my technique for dealing with a 9 year old smartass by using his own logic against him.
