To chill a food, glass or serving dish in order to get it icy cold and sometimes coated with frost. 2. To spread frosting over the surface of a cake.

By the way I don't know what the pig guts are doing in this but they definitely sound wrong.

Explanation:
Source: http://food.oregonstate.edu/d/yogurt.html
They explain that yog(h)urt is healthy for the gut .. of the one who eats it.

"Yogurt has long been believed to be a healthy food source and thus beneficial to the body in such a way that it is seen to "enhance" the microflora of the gut. The production of lactic acids by the microorganisms in yogurt, Lactobacillus bulgaricus Streptococci thermophilous, can decrease the pH of the gut. This apparent increase in acidity affects the solubility and resulting absorption of minerals, such as calcium. In addition, the lowered pH creates an environment less favorable for common foodborne pathogens."

Maybe they apply pig guts in the production proces as an extra enhancement of this effect?

agree  Alex Temmingh: Pig guts?? Exactly my idea, Kate! That's why I asked for more context. A translation might be granité.
