Ice Cream (Derived From Earlier Iced Cream or Cream Ice

Ice cream is a frozen food typically made from dairy products like milk and cream that is often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. It is usually sweetened and contains stabilizers and flavorings added. The mixture is stirred to incorporate air while being cooled below the freezing point of water to prevent ice crystals from forming, resulting in a smooth, semi-solid foam. The meaning of "ice cream" varies between countries, with some using terms like "frozen custard" or "frozen yogurt" to distinguish varieties, and governments regulating labeling of ingredients. Popular flavors in North America include vanilla and chocolate.

Ice cream (derived from earlier iced cream or cream ice[1]) is a frozen food, typically eaten as a

snack or dessert, usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined
with fruits or other ingredients and flavours. It is typically sweetened with sucrose, corn syrup, cane
sugar, beet sugar, and/or other sweeteners. Typically, flavourings and colourings are added in
addition to stabilizers. The mixture is stirred to incorporate air spaces and cooled below the freezing
point of water to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. The result is a smooth, semi-solid
foam that is solid at very low temperatures (<35 F / 2 C). It becomes more malleable as its
temperature increases.
The meaning of the phrase "ice cream" varies from one country to another. Phrases such as "frozen
custard", "frozen yogurt", "sorbet", "gelato" and others are used to distinguish different varieties and
styles. In some countries, such as the United States, the phrase "ice cream" applies only to a
specific variety, and most governments regulate the commercial use of the various terms according
to the relative quantities of the main ingredients.[2] Products that do not meet the criteria to be called
ice cream are labelled "frozen dairy dessert" instead. [3] In other countries, such
as Italy and Argentina, one word is used for all variants. Analogues made from dairy alternatives,
such as goat's or sheep's milk, or milk substitutes, are available for those who are lactose
intolerant, allergic to dairy protein, or vegan. The most popular flavours of ice cream in North
America (based on consumer surveys) are vanilla and chocolate.[4]
