Ice cream desserts, frozen

Frozen ice cream desserts are milk-based products served frozen. They mainly provide fat and carbohydrate, with a smaller amount of protein. Per 100g, the desserts described provide 18g of fat, including 14g of saturated fat, and 21g of carbohydrate, including 20g of sugars. The supplied values represent samples from several brands, so individual products may differ.

The saturated fat and sugar content are relevant for people monitoring these nutrients or their overall energy intake. Fat and carbohydrate both provide energy. These desserts also contain calcium, which helps maintain bones and teeth, although the amount varies between products. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures
