[alonsohdez90]

can somebody please help me with how to determin the fat content of my ice cream recipes? is there some sort of formula im not aware of? im not quite sure how to figure the percentages that people get. thanks for all the help.

Wolfram Alpha has a handy dandy nutrition calculator that can help figure this out. For example, using a pretty basic vanilla ice cream recipe, I get 158 grams of fat per 1007 gram portion or 15.7% fat content.

If you care about fat for textural reasons, then don't include the ingredients from any mixins in the calculation.
