Helado, commonly referred to as ice cream, is a sweet, frozen dessert enjoyed worldwide, with roots tracing back to ancient civilizations and later refined in Italian cuisine. Traditional helado is made from dairy ingredients such as milk and cream, combined with sugar and flavorings like vanilla, chocolate, or fruit. Its creamy texture is achieved through churning during freezing, often with the addition of stabilizers and emulsifiers. While helado is a source of calcium and offers small amounts of protein, it is also high in sugar and saturated fat, making it a treat best consumed in moderation. Variations like sorbet and gelato offer lighter options with less fat or dairy-free alternatives. Over time, low-sugar, plant-based, and fortified versions have catered to differing dietary needs, adding versatility to this beloved dessert.
