Frozen dairy desserts can be divided into three distinct categories based on their fat content and preparation technique. The first is traditional American ice cream, which relies heavily on heavy cream and sugar to produce a light, airy treat with a fat content of at least 10 percent. The second category is Italian gelato, which uses a higher ratio of whole milk to cream, contains less incorporated air, and is served at a slightly warmer temperature for a denser, more intense flavor. Finally, soft serve represents a third category, stored as a liquid base and whipped continuously inside a specialized freezing machine to yield a smooth, ribbon-like soft consistency immediately before serving.
