Interesting Facts about Ice Cream

The origins of ice cream can be traced back to at least the 4th century B.C. Early references include the Roman Emperor Nero who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings and King Tang of Shang of China had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Ice cream was likely brought from China back to Europe. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.

After the dessert was imported to the United States and it was served by several famous Americans. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson served it to their guests. In 1700, Governor Bladen of Maryland was recorded as having served it to his guests. In 1774, a London caterer named Philip Lenzi who announced in a New York newspaper that he would be offering for sale various confections and that included ice cream. Dolly Madison first served their brand of ice cream in 1812.

The first ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City in 1776. American colonists were the first to use the term "ice cream". The name came from the phrase "iced cream" that was similar to "iced tea". The name was later abbreviated to "ice cream" the name we know it today.
