Ice cream is a frozen dessert made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors
Most varieties contain sugar, other sweeteners, artificial flavorings and colorings
This mixture is stirred slowly while cooling to prevent large ice crystals from forming; the result is a smoothly textured ice cream.
Is also known as
- frozen custard
- frozen yogurt
- sorbet
- gelato
Alternatives made from soy milk, rice milk, and goat milk are available for those who are lactose intolerant or have an allergy to dairy protein, or to avoid animal products
