Roundy's Light Ice Cream
What it is
This is a frozen dessert made with dairy and sweeteners, offering a lighter alternative to traditional ice cream. It is designed to provide a similar creamy texture and sweet flavor profile with fewer of the richer components found in full-fat versions. The base is typically a blend of milk, cream, and sugar, with flavorings added.
How people cook with it
This frozen treat is perfect for satisfying sweet cravings. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a component in various desserts.
- Served in a bowl
- Scooped into cones
- Topping for pies
- Blended into milkshakes
Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve and improves its texture. It can be enjoyed directly from the container or used as an ingredient in more elaborate preparations. For milkshakes, combine scoops with milk and blend until smooth. When serving with warm desserts like pie, the contrast in temperature and texture is delightful.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular ice cream, light ice cream typically contains less fat and sometimes less sugar. This results in a slightly less dense and rich mouthfeel. The flavor intensity may also be perceived differently due to the reduced fat content, which carries flavor.

How to keep the rest
Keep the container tightly sealed in the freezer to prevent freezer burn and maintain its texture. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing, as this can negatively impact the quality. Store it in the coldest part of your freezer.
