Is Frozen Dairy Dessert the same as Ice Cream?
Generally when you shop for Breyer’s, you head over to the frozen foods aisle labeled “Ice Cream.” That’s where you’ll find the Butter Pecan product.
However, if you look more closely at the container, it’s labeled frozen dairy dessert, not ice cream.
So, what’s the difference between ice cream and a frozen dairy dessert? Real ice cream is made with 100% dairy products, including milk, cream, skim milk powder, and/or whey powder.
Frozen desserts, on the other hand, are made with vegetable oils. This particular dessert is made with corn syrup and peanut oil.
So, while the taste may be similar to ice cream because of its creamy base, a frozen dairy dessert contains different ingredients.
