What is "ice milk"

n. A dessert that resembles ice cream but is made of milk rather than cream.

n. similar to ice cream but made of milk

Ice milk, or iced milk, is a frozen dessert with less than 10 percent milkfat and the same sweetener content as ice cream. Ice milk is sometimes priced lower than ice cream.

A 1994 change in United States Food and Drug Administration rules allowed ice milk to be labeled as low-fat ice cream in the United States.

Products containing less milk fat but higher sweetener content are sold as sherbet, and products with no milk fat or dairy analogues are sold as sorbet. Products which use nonfat or lowfat yogurt or dairy analogues are sold as frozen yogurt.
