Core Ingredients
To achieve a creamy texture with lower fat content, this ice cream utilizes specific milk solids and stabilizers:
-
Low-Fat Vanilla Base: Primarily composed of skim milk, sugar, and corn syrup. It contains significantly less cream than standard ice cream to meet "low-fat" labeling requirements.
-
Sea Salt Caramel Swirl: A thick, gooey ribbon made from corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, water, butter, and sea salt. This provides the primary flavor impact.
-
Natural & Artificial Flavors: Vanilla and caramel notes are enhanced to compensate for the lower fat content, ensuring the flavor remains robust.
-
Texturizers & Stabilizers: Includes ingredients like cellulose gel, cellulose gum, guar gum, and carrageenan to mimic the mouthfeel of full-fat dairy and prevent ice crystal formation.
