What You Should Know

You'd find this pint in the supermarket freezer aisle or pulled from your home freezer for a quick dessert—perfect for movie nights, gatherings, or a nostalgic late-night scoop. The vibe is indulgent and comforting with a homemade-sounding ingredient list, but the smooth texture and scoopability are achieved through industrial processing and added stabilizers. Ingredients like liquid sugar, guar gum, and carrageenan hint at ultra-processed formulation despite dairy and egg yolks as primary components.
