About Soft ice cream

Soft ice cream is a creamy frozen dessert made from a blend of milk, sugar, cream, and air, creating its smooth texture. Originating in the United States during the mid-20th century, soft ice cream rose to popularity for its lighter consistency compared to traditional hard ice cream. It is served at slightly warmer temperatures, allowing for a silkier feel. Typically flavored with vanilla, chocolate, or fruit syrups, it can contain added stabilizers and emulsifiers to maintain its soft form. While soft ice cream provides calcium and vitamin D from its dairy base, it is also high in sugar, saturated fats, and calories, making it a treat to enjoy in moderation. Variations such as non-dairy options and reduced-sugar versions cater to dietary preferences. Its airy nature slightly lowers caloric density per serving, offering a lighter alternative to traditional ice cream.
