'''Ice cream''' (actually, technically and pollitically correctlyoriginally '''iced- cream''') is a frozen [[dessert]] made from [[dairy product]]s such as [[cream (food)|cream]] (or substituted ingredients), combined with [[flavoring]]s and [[sweetener]]s such as [[sugar]]. This mixture is cooled while stirring to prevent large [[ice]] [[crystals]] from forming. Although the term "ice cream" is sometimes used to mean frozen desserts and snacks in general, it is usually reserved for frozen desserts and snacks made with a high percentage of milk fat. [[Frozen custard]], [[ice milk]], [[sorbet]] and other similar products are sometimes also called ice cream. Governments often regulate the use of these terms based on quantities of ingredients.
