Which of these is a new category of ice-cream used in ice-cream market classification?

Traditionally ice-cream was categorised as super-premium, premium, standard or economy. These ice-creams usually vary by fat content, total solids, overrun, flavours, packaging and cost. As there are no legal guidelines of different ice-cream categories, this is just a guide and may differ from industry to industry.

A new category of ice-cream is emerging known as 'Premium Light' ice-cream. This is an ice-cream which provides the eating quality of premium ice-cream but with lower fat. Some manufacturers market these directly as premium light ice-creams, whilst others use it just for cost savings.

These can be made by altering the recipe or the procedure.

If I can’t have the fat and calories, etc of super premium, then I don’t want any!

In NZ Ice Cream is defined as a sweet frozen food made from cream or milk products or both, and other foods, generally aerated, and consisting of not less than 100g/kg of milk fat, and not less than 168g/litre of food solids. otherwise it cant be called ice cream

Another ridiculous question!

Howard Groopman, I don't eat refined sugar. I tried Nick's which is a Swedish brand sweetened with monk fruit, low in carbs and not bad calorie count if you eat the portion suggested. They also have funny sayings on the top of the inner liner.

Milkshakes are one of my favorite desserts.

I have always loved ice cream since I was a kid. My Mom ate ice cream when she was pregnant with me, lol. I love Enlightened Ice Cream, especially the Marshmallow PB & Nick's Swedush ice cream especially the coffee karmel since I love coffee. They are both lower sugar & you cannot tell the difference btwn this & higher sugar ice creams.

Low fat usually has extra sugar.

Peggy Tinsley, Premium light is a type of ice cream, not a company. It is very rich ice cream, without all the fat. I guessed this, because the others sounded familiar. Thank you, Christine, James's wife

Another low-fat product that I can plan to ignore.

There are SO many varieties of ice cream and ice cream-like desserts now. Some are sugar-free, dairy-free, some vegan, some all-natural, on and on. I've tried a few of the newer ones, with mixed reactions. Bravo Robot was excellent.
