What is in ice cream?

It depends on the brand and type of ice cream.
Traditional Vanilla ice cream can be simple, with:

• Cream
• Skim milk
• Sugar
• Vanilla
• Egg yolks

The difference is in which order they are in, and what they are using for sweeteners.

We know too much saturated fat and sugar is not good for us. So brands that are lower in both would be better for you health-wise.
The average serving is only a half a cup- which is tiny! There are 3.5 servings in a pint!

It can range from:
