The origins of ice cream are contested, but the Chinese are usually given credit for inventing ice cream around 3,000 B.C. The ice cream was actually a mixture of milk and ice.
Invention
The Roman Emperor Nero (54-86 A.D.) supposedly liked a mixture of juices and snow, which was harvested in the winter from the Apennine mountains and then stored in ice cellars.

When Catherine de Medici became Henry IIs wife, France was introduced to ice cream (in 1553). In England, during 17th century dinner parties thrown by Charles I, Cream Ice was regularly served. The first official account of ice cream: in a 1744 letter by Governor William Bladen, a guest of Maryland. The first ice cream advertisement was on May 12, 1777: confectioner Philip Lenzi advertised his ice cream as being available almost everyday in the New York Gazette. Dolley Madison served strawberry ice cream at President Madisons second inaugural banquet at the White House. Insulated ice houses were invented around 1800; ice cream manufacturing became an industry and then ice cream became available to people outside of the elite.
