By law in E.U and U.S, ice cream must contain minimum 10% milk fat, anything less is ice confectionery/desserts. Most ‘ice cream’ available locally use palm oil and contain hardly any dairy products. Hence, one need not search any further than 7-E or Giant for non-dairy ice cream.

To reduce large ice crystals in reduced fat ice cream, much sugar is added. One has to decide whether 15% milk fat or 35% sugar is more harmful.

Substitute milk fat (e.g. in butter, chocolate and ice cream) with palm oil is pretentious food.

Most commonly available "ice cream" in Malaysia hardly contents any milk fat if any.
