Frozen dessert
Frozen dessert
Frozen dessert (/ˈfroʊzən dɪˈzɜːrt/) is a general term for desserts made by freezing liquids, semi-solids, and sometimes even solids. They may be based on flavored water (like ice pops), fruit purées (such as sorbet), milk and cream (most ice creams), or some combination of the three.
Etymology
The term "frozen dessert" is of English origin. "Frozen" comes from the Old English "frosen", which is the past participle of "freosan", meaning "to freeze". "Dessert" comes from the French "desservir", which means "to clear the table". The term was first used in the 17th century to refer to the course that cleared away the savories at the end of a meal.
