Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It may be made from milk or cream and is flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit such as strawberries or peaches.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans consume an average of 23 gallons of ice cream each year. Classic vanilla is the most popular flavor in America, accounting for more than 26 percent of the country’s ice cream sales.
Ice cream's origins are known to reach back as far as the second century B.C., although no specific date of origin nor inventor has been undisputably credited with its discovery. We know that Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar. King Tang (618-97 C.E.) of Shang, China had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions.
By the 18th century, ice cream was all the rage in Europe. Using locally produced milk and cream, ice harvested from lakes, and the sugar and molasses people like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had ice cream–making pots imported from Europe.
A presidential chef from Philadelphia named Augustus Jackson is referred to as the “father of ice cream.” Though he isn’t the person who invented ice cream, he’s credited with inventing the modern method of manufacturing ice cream (adding salt to the ice to lower and control the temperature).
Though he didn’t invent ice cream—or even introduce it to America— Jefferson is credited with the first-known ice cream recipe recorded by an American. The flavor? Vanilla. The ice cream sundae originated in the late 19th century.
