Glad you asked! Ice cream made from plant-based milk, such as almond milk, can be much lower in calories and healthier for you. Dairy, in general, is also higher in cholesterol due to a higher content of saturation fats than plant-based so again a healthier option although important to read labels for side-to-side comparison.

A good alternative is gelato. Gelato, a type of ice cream that originated in Italy, can also be a healthier option as it contains less cream and saturated fats than traditional ice cream and should satisfy your craving.

Not that I am aware of. One of the primary concerns about ice cream is its high sugar content and sugary foods are known to contribute to tooth decay. The sugar interacts with the bacteria in your mouth to form an acid, which can erode tooth enamel and this process over time can led to tooth decay.
