         Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It may be made from milk or cream and is flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit such as strawberries or peaches. It can also be made by whisking a flavored cream base and liquid nitrogen together. 

      

       The mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperature.

          One problem that ice cream has in the name itself i.e cream which most people know as a relatively high fat dairy product and some of this perception rubs off on to ice cream,

but the reality of modern ice cream is somewhat different.

                 

          The major food component in ice cream is milk and of this milk protein is the most important. In addition, milk contains calcium and phosphorus which are very important in the building of bones along with some essential vitamins.
