What is the different between ice cream and frozen yogurt?
Ice cream is made from cream and tends to be higher in fat than
frozen yogurt. Ice cream is composed primarily of water (from milk
and cream) with sweeteners such as corn syrup or sugar, flavorings,
emulsifiers, stabilizers, milk solids, and milk fat. Milk fat gives
ice cream its distinctive richness and characteristic smooth
texture. Federal law mandates that anything labeled ice cream must
contain at least 10% milk fat by weight.
Frozen yogurt is similar to ice cream, but made with yogurt
rather than cream. It usually has less fat than ice cream, but
higher amounts of fat and substantially more calories than yogurt.
Fat-free frozen yogurts exist, but they often have even more added
sugar than other varieties. Frozen yogurt is richer in many
minerals and nutrients than ice cream, but is not as healthy as
regular yogurt.
