Lots of reasons to look up to our friends across the pond! But for anyone who loves a scoop of vanilla ice cream, be sure to buy your gallon in the U-S-of-A.\r\n\r\nThe product review publication Which!<\/a> (like the British version of Consumer Reports) tested 24 brands of vanilla ice cream and found that only half of them had vanilla, cream and milk on their ingredients list. It's enough to make us melt.\r\nIt's made with what<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nYou expect ice cream to be a mixture of milk, cream, sugar and flavors like vanilla. But some of the UK brands cut corners with unexpected ingredients. For instance, a brand called Wall's Soft Scoop contains reconstituted skimmed milk, water, glucose syrup, vegetable oils, glucose fructose syrup, sugar, whey solids, emulsifier and stabilizers, plus flavorings. It sounds more like a chemistry experiment than dessert!\r\n\r\nThe good news for American ice cream lovers is that both U.S. brands Which! tested\u2014Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs\u2014have all three key ingredients. Ben & Jerry's has cream, skim milk and sugar as well as vanilla extract and vanilla beans. Haagen-Dazs contains cream, skim milk, cane sugar and vanilla extract.

It wasn't always this way. The UK used to require that \"ice cream\" contain at least 5% dairy fat. But in 2015, new guidelines eliminated those requirements. By comparison, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration still requires a minimum of 10% dairy fat in any product labeled \"ice cream.\"\r\n\r\nFounding father Thomas Jefferson\u2014who is credited with creating the first American recipe for vanilla ice cream\u2014would be proud!\r\nHow to make your own<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nYou can simplify the ice cream ingredient list even more by making your own.
