Ice-creams, also known as frozen desserts, come in a wide variety of flavors and types. Some popular synonyms for ice-cream include sorbet, gelato, frozen yogurt, sherbet, and soft serve. Sorbet is a frozen dessert typically made with fruit juice and is a great option for those looking for a dairy-free alternative. Gelato, which originated in Italy, is a denser and creamier frozen dessert than traditional ice-cream. Frozen yogurt, made with yogurt instead of cream, is a healthier option for those watching their calorie intake. Sherbet is similar to sorbet but contains dairy and is commonly made with fruit and cream. Soft serve is a type of ice-cream that is soft and smooth due to the addition of extra air during the freezing process.
