The History of Ice Cream

 

Ice cream is a dairy-based frozen food that is usually eaten as snacks. In the United States, the average person eats about 10 kg of ice cream per year. Ice cream is available in a variety of flavors and textures.

Ice cream is created by freezing water and milk. Milk and cream provide the protein, fat, and moisture needed to create a soft, creamy texture. Fats keep ice cream from dripping and collapsing when it melts. Sugars help drive the freezing point to below 0 degC, keeping ice cream soft. Depending on the style, it may contain eggs or other ingredients.

The first official account of ice cream in the New World comes from a letter written in 1744. This letter was written by a guest of Maryland Governor William Bladen. It was sent to his wife in France, where it was intended for use in her kitchen. She wrote back and said that she was glad to hear about the ice cream.

Ice cream was first made by small businesses in Europe and America. It was originally made from snow and juices. These flavored snows were then carved into ice to make ice cream. Eventually, a commercial ice cream factory was established by Jacob Fussell. He bought dairy products from farmers in Pennsylvania and Baltimore and started selling his ice cream.

After a period of experimentation, he was able to develop an ice cream that would freeze uniformly. His extruder consisted of a kneading motion to distribute fat better. As a result, the air bubbles in the mix decreased in size, resulting in a smoother ice cream.

Although most people believe that 아이스팝니다 is only available in the summer, it has been made throughout the year. In fact, Ronald Reagan declared July 15 as National Ice Cream Day. There are several types of ice cream, including sorbet, Greek ice cream, and soft serve ice cream. Sorbet is normally made by hand. However, a number of shops now produce ice cream using liquid nitrogen.

During the early years of the 20th century, the popularity of ice cream was growing. Ice cream soda became a popular treat, and the establishment of ice cream parlors allowed people to buy ice cream at home. Ice cream was also available at soda fountains. A popular ice cream soda was a 'Black Magic' with coffee ice cream base, salted caramel, and browned butter peach.

Today, artisanal ice cream makers are opening. Among the most notable are Molly Moon's Artisanal Ice Cream, Zsa's Homemade Gourmet Ice Cream, and Van Leeuwen Artisanal Ice Cream. Each specializes in a different flavor, and each offers a fresh and clean taste. Some artisanal ice cream makers even offer odd flavors, such as Oddfellows, which has a range of ice cream flavors.

While the formula for ice cream has remained relatively unchanged over the years, food scientists are continually experimenting with components to enhance its texture and extend its shelf life. A key ingredient is cellulose nanofibers found in banana plants, which improve the creaminess of ice cream.
