Do you need 2 percent milk to make ice cream?

It is possible to make ice cream with 2 percent milk, but it will not produce the same rich, creamy result as ice cream made with a higher fat content. For the best results, use heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk for a creamier texture. If you prefer to make ice cream with a lower fat content, you can use skim milk or 2 percent milk, but you may need to adjust the recipe slightly to compensate for the lower fat content.
