Frozen Desserts You Should Never Buy Again
When the dog days of summer have a stranglehold on your normally calm cool temperament it’s as easy to regain your composure as indulging in a frozen dessert. But what exactly is a frozen dessert? It covers a lot of ground. Technically it’s a dessert made by freezing flavored liquids sometimes with semi-solids or purees added and the variations are seemingly endless.
Frozen custard is a frozen dairy dessert that also contains egg yolks for added richness. Although it looks a lot like ice cream less air is whipped into frozen custard during the freezing process which creates a distinctly dense creamy texture.
Frozen yogurt became popular in the United States as a low-fat alternative to ice cream in the second half of the 20th century. Unlike ice cream or ice milk frozen yogurt is made with cultured milk instead of fresh. The bacterial cultures in the yogurt provide a tangy flavor and a thick creamy texture without the high fat content. However the fat and sugar content of frozen yogurt varies widely from brand to brand.
