Dear Patsy, Most ice creams and ice milks are in the range of 7:1 to 5:1. Vanilla softserve Dairy Queen ice cream has a ratio of 7.3:1. Now how 'bout that? Sorta makes me believe in divine guidance! I should add, though, that a small number of PWP appear to be especially sensitive to milk protein, found in ice creams. Best, Kathrynne Jerry Manning wrote: > > Hello! > I have a quick question ?
