Ice cream, ice milk and sherbet are all favorite frozen desserts. Commercial ice cream and ice milk are basically mixtures of milk fat, non fat milk solids, sweeteners and flavorings. Ice cream has the highest butterfat content of all frozen desserts. Ice milk has about half the butterfat of ice cream but contains more sweetener.
Sherbet is virtually fat free while fruit ices are a fat free mixture of water, sugar and fruit. Frozen, low fat yogurts are made with skim milk, non fat milk solids, yogurt cultures, fruit, fruit flavorings and jelling agents or emulsifiers and stabilizers.
Frozen desserts are easy to make at home. When using a churn type ice cream freezer, fill the freezer can only as full as the manufacturer directs, to allow for expansion any excess mixture may be frozen in an ice tray. After freezing, transfer the mixture from the ice cream freezer to a chilled container and place in home freezer a few hours to harden or pack in ice cream freezer as directed in recipe. If using an ice cube tray, about 1 hour before serving, remove mixture to a bowl beat at medium speed until smooth return to tray, keep frozen until serving time. To serve, stand at room temperature 10 minutes for easier scooping. Keep some trays especially for desserts since ice cubes tend to stick in trays previously used for freezing desserts. You can tell when a mixture is partially frozen because it will be frozen firm to 1 inch in from the edge, with a soft, mushy center.
