Frozen dessert
Frozen dessert is a dessert made by freezing liquids, semi-solids, and sometimes even solids. They may be based on flavored water, on fruit purées, on milk and cream, on custard, on mousse, and others. It is sometimes sold as ice-cream in South Asia and other countries.
In Canada and elsewhere, the term is often used on imitations of ice cream which do not satisfy its legal definition.
In India some company brands like Hindustan Unilever were found selling frozen dessert made from vegetable oils rather than that made with pure milk. As per Indian regulations, ice cream which is made from milk solids, but contains non-dairy fat is categorized and labelled as frozen dessert in India.
