What’s the difference between ice cream and other frozen treats?

To be called ice cream, a frozen dessert must contain a minimum of 10% milk fat. Economy brands usually have lower milk fat than premium ice cream. Ice milk must contain between 3% m.f and 5% m.f. Light ice cream refers to an ice cream than contains less than the minimal 10% milk fat required.  Sherbet is a delicious fruity frozen treat that also contains a small amount of dairy. Frozen yoghurt contains active bacterial cultures and has a similar texture to ice cream with a lower fat content.
