Before Ice Cream we had the ice treats flavoured with fruit and honey that was enjoyed by the Roman Emperor Nero and the Chinese King Tang who enjoyed Ice milk treats.

The first ice cream as we know it recipe comes from Mrs. Mary Eales’s Receipts, Confectioner to her Late Majesty Queen Anne (1733) Mrs. Mary Eales began serving Ice Cream before 1718. Ice Cream was introduced to America by Quakers who immigrated from England. Americans invented a hand cranked ice cream machine (Nancy Johnson and William Young 1848), commercialized ice cream (Jacob Fussel 1897) and invented the continuous Ice cream freezer (Clarence Vogt 1926).

The first ice creams were usually flavored with fruits but today Chocolate reigns as American’s favorite ice cream flavor.
