The most simple ice cream is composed of simply cream, milk and sugar. In Europe cream and milk comes directly from cows through the dairy industry. Simple sugar (sucrose) comes from either sugar beet or sugar cane. Increasing a wide variety of other ‘sugars’ are used and many of these are derived from various types of starch. In Europe vegetable oil is also permitted, the most common type being used is coconut oil.
