Process for producing low or non fat ice cream

A process for producing low or non-fat ice cream comprising forming an aqueous ice cream mix containing (by weight solids) from about 2 to about 7% whey protein concentrate, said whey protein concentrate solids containing from about 30 to about 40% protein, and the mix also containing (by weight solids) from about 1 to about 10% skim milk solids, from about 5 to about 8% sucrose solids, from about 2 to about 6% corn syrup solids, from about 7 to about 12% high fructose corn syrup solids, from about 0.01 to about 0.05% carrageenin and from about 0.01 to about 0.25% guar gum, and processing said mix to form ice cream composition containing less than about 5% by weight fat and comprising (by weight except where stated) from about 5 to about 15% milk solids non-fat, from about 5 to about 20% sweeteners, from about 0.1 to about 0.5% stabilizers and, at a temperature in the range of from about -12.degree. to about -10.degree. C., from about 45 to about 60% frozen water in the form of ice crystals, at least about 40% (by number) of said ice crystals having a diameter less than about 45 microns, and from about 10 to about 20% unfrozen water wherein said low or non-fat ice cream has an ice crystallization profile similar to regular ice cream products.
