For other uses, see Ice cream (disambiguation). Ice cream (derived from earlier iced cream or cream ice) is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It is 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.
Ice cream is a complex food colloid in that the mix emulsion is subsequently foamed, creating a dispersed phase of air bubbles, and is frozen, forming another dispersed phase of ice crystals. Air bubbles and ice crystals are usually in the range of 20 â 50 micrometers in size.
