Abstract
Reduced calorie ice cream-type frozen desserts are prepared by replacing some or all of the fat in an ice cream recipe with a butter fat mimetic composition comprised of a fatty acid-esterified propoxylated glycerin composition. The mimetic composition may be comprised of two or more fatty acid-esterified propoxylated glycerin compositions in order to obtain a composition having a melting profile similar to that for butter fat. The reduced calorie ice cream-type frozen desserts have a rich, creamy texture and excellent flavor.
