Premium ice cream typically has 11-15% butterfat and 60 to 90% overrun. Finally, “super-premium” ice cream has a very low overrun and high fat content and uses high-quality ingredients. Super-premium has an overrun of less than 50% and contains 14 to 18% butterfat.
Ice cream has several natural ingredients
Regular ice cream has no less than 10% milk fat.
Reduced fat ice cream is approximately 7% fat.
Low-fat ice cream is no more than 3% milk fat.
Soft-serve ice cream is aerated and frozen immediately before sale to make a frozen but fluid ice cream.
Strictly speaking, gelato always has some dairy component, otherwise its a sorbetto (sorbet) or granita. More generally, gelato refers to frozen ice desserts ranging from granita and sorbetto to semi-freddo.

About 70% of the ingredients in ice cream come from milk, although mixes often contain natural ingredients like sugar and fruit.
Small quantities of stabilisers, flavours, colourings and emulsifiers may also be added to enhance flavour, texture or appearance.
There are no added preservatives as ice cream is preserved naturally by freezing. As it freezes, the mixture is whipped and blended to give its smoothness.

FAQ
Is there butter fat in ice cream?
Why is there butter in my ice cream?
Is ice cream made from butter or milk?
What are ice cream made of?
Does ice cream have butter?
When thinking about ice cream, there’s plenty of rich dairy that comes to mind, from heavy cream to milk, but rarely does one think of butter. Sure, there’s the flavors that invoke the golden butter flavor, like browned butter pecan and butter toffee.
What type of fat is present in butter?
Butter, like other dairy products, contains a high amount of saturated fat, which raises blood cholesterol, and increases the risk for heart disease and stroke.
What type of butter should I use for ice cream?
These types of butter have a richer fat content and less water, meaning they’ll bring a more luxurious texture and taste to the ice cream base. You can still use American-style butter, but it will bring more moisture to your ice cream, which may mean more clunky ice crystals.
Should you add clarified butter to ice cream?
Clarified butter takes out all of the milk solids and you are left with ghee. This is great when you need a higher smoke point, but not when you are literally making a churned dairy product- you need the dairy to get the rich texture and taste. When you add the soft butter to the ice cream base, it will be clumpy and weird.
