The History of Ice Cream

Ice cream has a long and storied history that dates back to ancient times. The first known ice cream-like dessert was made in China over 2,000 years ago. It was made with milk, rice, and camphor. The Chinese also invented the first ice cream maker, which was a bamboo tube filled with ice and salt.

Ice cream made its way to Europe in the 1st century A.D. when Roman Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar sent runners into the mountains to collect snow, which he then flavored with fruit and honey. The first ice cream parlor in Europe opened in Florence, Italy, in the 16th century.

Ice cream was introduced to the Americas in the 17th century by the Spanish. The first ice cream parlor in the United States opened in New York City in 1776.
