Other Frozen Desserts: Nutrition Facts and Calories

This category includes a variety of frozen desserts that are not traditional ice cream, gelato, or sorbet. You'll find items like frozen cheesecakes, cream puffs, fruit-filled pastries, and other sweet treats designed for your freezer. When choosing "Other Frozen Desserts," the Nutrition Facts label can help you make informed choices. Pay attention to "Added Sugars." The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) suggest limiting added sugars, recommending no specific amount and at most 10 grams per meal. Look for products with lower amounts. Also, check "Saturated Fat," as the Dietary Guidelines recommend keeping intake under 10% of your daily calories. Sodium is another factor; the FDA's Daily Value is 2,300 milligrams. The ingredient list shows what's in the product. Ingredients are listed from most to least by weight. Seeing sugar or various fats high on the list means they are major components. If the dessert includes fruit, its position on the list indicates its proportion. Making informed choices about frozen desserts can be part of a balanced eating pattern. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
