Worth knowing
  • Frozen, so a supermarket item, not Amazon.
  • Other flavours add more ingredients. The vanilla is the simple one.
Ingredients

Fresh Cream (39.2%), Condensed Skimmed Milk, Sugar, Water, Egg Yolk, Natural Vanilla Flavouring.

What we ruled out

Tubs with emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides), stabilisers (guar, locust bean gum, carrageenan), and glucose syrup. These replace cream and egg with air, water, and cheaper sugars. Check the label: if it says 'frozen dessert' or lists vegetable fat, it isn't ice cream in the simple sense.
