What it is

Low-fat ice cream is a frozen dessert that contains less fat than regular ice cream. It is typically made from milk, cream, sweeteners, and flavorings. The ingredients are mixed, pasteurized, and then churned while freezing to create a smooth, airy texture.

Why it's used

Low-fat ice cream is primarily consumed as a dessert. It can be enjoyed on its own, as part of sundaes, or used as an ingredient in other frozen treats like ice cream sandwiches or bars.

Health notes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines standards of identity for low-fat ice cream, which specify its fat content and other characteristics. As a dairy product, it provides nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Its overall nutritional impact depends on its specific ingredients, including the amount of added sugars and fat.

Allergen info

Low-fat ice cream contains milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
