English term or phrase: I am bringing dessert. Is it Fro-Yo Ma
The term I am looking for is Fro-Yo Ma, which I guess it´s a type of Asian dessert. I guess I can leave it as it is, but I want to know what it is. Any ideas?

"Fro-yo ma" puede referirise a la marca de yogur helado Yo Mama. Yo traduciría fro-yo como yogur helado o helado de yogur.

i am bringing dessert. is it fro-yo ma
Fro-Yo Ma


Explanation:
Aunque se necesita más contexto, creo que es una alusión al gran violonchelista chino Yo-Yo Ma. Parece ser una marca más que un postre, así que no lo traduciría. La alusión al violonchelista podría recuperarse en algún otro lugar de la traducción o explicarse en alguna nota del traductor.

Asker: Mucha gracias Antuel, no sabía del volochelista, voy a mirarlo. Sin embargo, creo que no tiene nada que ver con la traducción que hice, y no me sirve la referencia. Muchísimas gracias, nonetheless.

Fro = frozen, Yo = yogurt


Explanation:
Somewhat in vogue at malls, stand selling fro-yo with all sorts of toppings. Definitely a diet-buster, in the guise of being healthy yogurt!
