Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Evaporated milk
Adds concentrated milk solids for a rich, creamy body with less free water.
Whole milk
Supplies moisture and dairy fat that give the base its smooth, creamy texture.
Eggs
Egg proteins and yolk fat emulsify the base and add richness and body.
Sugar replacement
Provides sweetness and helps keep the frozen texture soft.
Vanilla
Adds the main aroma and flavour of the ice cream.
