Unlike traditional ice cream, frozen desserts often replace milk with vegetable oils like palm or hydrogenated fats. That’s why they’re cheaper and increase their shelf-life.

Although they both have a creamy flavor, real milk fat gives ice cream a deeper, smoother texture. While some frozen desserts can taste slightly waxy or artificial.

Despite having more calories, ice cream can be regarded as healthier because it contains natural components. Frozen desserts, on the other hand, may contain trans fats and emulsifiers.

Since they substitute dairy content with vegetable oil, 'frozen dessert' might be a suitable alternative for lactose-intolerant people. But always make sure to check the ingredients list before eating.
