Quick Summary

Ice milk is a sweetened, frozen food made from skim milk. It is a type of frozen dessert that contains less fat than traditional ice cream, typically between 2 and 7 percent fat, and at least 11 percent total milk solids. This lower fat content often leads to it being marketed as "light" or "reduced-fat" ice cream. Ice milk has a history intertwined with the evolution of frozen desserts, which date back to ancient Roman times and were further developed through trade routes and culinary innovations.123
