Low calorie frozen desserts, in particular ice cream-like products, having a smooth, creamy, nongritty mouthfeel are can be produced. These frozen desserts contain fat that contains from about 30 to 100% of certain edible, wholly or partially nondigestible intermediate melting polyol polyesters, milk solids other than fat, sweetener, oil-in-water emulsifier, a flavoring substance, and water. The fat is substantially homogeneously dispersed in the aqueous phase as emulsified fat particles having an average particle size of about 5 microns or less. These frozen desserts are obtained by a process which initially involves the formation of a preemulsion by homogenizing a mixture which consists essentially of these intermediate melting polyol polyesters and only a portion of the other dessert ingredients. This preemulsion is then combined with the remaining dessert ingredients, homogenized, pasteurized, and at least partially frozen to provide the frozen desserts.

Process for making low calorie fat-containing frozen dessert products

An acid-stable, heat-reversible, cheese-like gel is prepared using a mozzarella cheese, an acidulant, and a locust bean gum/xanthan gum stabilizing system.
