Ice Cream Health Benefits – Ice Cream Facts

Ice cream is made by stirring, while freezing, a pasteurized mix of one or more dairy ingredients – milk, concentrated fat-free milk, cream, condensed milk – sweetening agents, flavorings, stabilizers, emulsifiers and optional egg or egg yolk solids and other ingredients. The calorie and fat contents of ice cream vary depending on the type of milk used and the addition of cream, egg yolk solids or sweetening agents.

Did you know that;

It takes 12 pounds of milk to make one gallon of ice cream.
Air is a major ingredient in ice cream. Without it, ice cream would be as hard as a rock.

Fat gives ice cream its smooth texture; manufacturers of non-fat and low-fat ice cream compensate for the lack of fat by increasing the sugar – by up to twice the amount – and beating in less air.

 Therefore, although these products contain less fat, in the end they are not necessarily lower in calories.
