A Brief  History

The human population of the planet runs on food. The younger generations strive and crave sugar at a young age to get the calorie intake that they need to survive. One of the most common sugary confections that kids and adults alike love is ice cream. Ice cream is found all over the world in thousands of different flavor combinations.

This smooth, creamy, frozen concoction originated in the 5th Century BC, in Greece. The Father of Modern, Hippocrates, encouraged his patients to eat it for it’s “increasing well-being” properties.  From there it made its way to Persia in 400 BC where it was a royal delicacy made from rose water and ice mixed with fruits and spices, then to China in 200 BC which is was made of rice and milk. China is where they discovered that salt has properties that lowers the freezing point of water, so that the cream can freeze at a lower temperature.  In rome, Emperor Nero had ice brought from mountains and combined it with fruit around 37 AD.  In the sixteenth century in India, Mughal emperors had horsemen bring them ice to make fruit sorbets.

Ice creams and sorbets moved to Europe in 1533 when Italian duchess Catherine de’ Medici married Henry II of France and she brought some of her Italian chefs to France who had recipes of flavored ices and sorbets. There is a legend that, one hundred years after Catherine, King Charles I of England was so impressed by “frozen snow” that he offered his own ice cream maker a lifetime pension to keep his formula secret, so it could be a royal prerogative.

The first French recipe was in 1674 from Nicholas Lemery’s Recueil de curiositéz rares et nouvelles de plus admirables effets de la nature. (A collection of rare and new curiosities of the most admirable effects of nature.) After the first publication of sorbetti in 1694, flavored ices began to appear in books.

Ice cream recipes first appeared in England in the 18th century, it was first published in Mrs. Mary Eales’s Receipts in 1718.

In North America, the first reference to ice cream was in Oxford English Dictionary in 1744, reprinted in a magazine in 1877.  

Ice cream was introduced to the United States by Quaker colonists who brought their ice cream recipes with them. Confectioners sold ice cream at their shops in New York and other cities during the colonial era. Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson were known to have regularly eaten and served ice cream. First Lady Dolley Madison, wife of U.S. President James Madison, served ice cream at her husband's Inaugural Ball in 1813.

Small-scale hand-cranked ice cream freezers were invented in England by Agnes Marshall and in America by Nancy Johnson in the 1840s.
