Sugar in Ice Cream

Sugar can come from a variety of ingredients that are incorporated into ice cream mixture including juice, fruit, and sugar itself. The level of sugar in a mixture plays a pivotal role in the hardening of the ice cream during churning. Too little sugar will result in ice cream being softer.
