Ice cream is a smooth, sweet cold food prepared from a frozen mixture of milk products,
usually containing 10 to 14 per cent butterfat and an average of 10.5 per cent nonfat
milk solids, approximately 15 per cent cane or beet sugar, flavoring, and sometimes
small amounts of colloidal materials and emulsifiers.
Bits of fruit or candy, and occasionally nuts such as pecans are blended into ice cream sometimes.
Ice cream is usually served by itself in a bowl or dish, but sometimes people
pour a sweet syrup over their scoops of ice cream.
