What it is

It offers a lighter, more refreshing taste compared to ice cream due to its higher fruit content and lower fat. The texture is usually smooth and slightly icy, providing a delightful contrast to richer frozen treats. Each serving is individually portioned for convenience.

How to keep the rest
