July is National Ice Cream Month, and that means Jill Williams with the St. Louis District Dairy Council is out spreading the word about the delicious treat. Ice cream accounts for a hefty portion of what dairy farmers do, and July was designated as the celebratory month for the dessert by former President Ronald Reagan.

It takes a lot of milk to make one gallon of ice cream. Williams shares that process of how ice cream is made. 

Ice cream doesn’t have the most nutritious reputation, but Williams says it’s a great treat. She just encourages paying attention to the serving size.  

Williams reminds people that ice cream does still have dairy in it.

Williams appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
