Ice Cream Ice cream, frozen dairy food and common dessert made from cream or butterfat, milk, sugar, and flavorings. Frozen custard and French-type ice creams also contain eggs. Hundreds of flavors of ice cream have been devised, the most popular being vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. When the three flavors are combined, it is known as Neapolitan. Ice cream is also the basis of other desserts, such as baked Alaska, which consists of ice cream layered between a slice of sponge cake and a covering of meringue that is browned in either an oven at high heat or by a butane culinary torch.
Homemade ice cream Making homemade ice cream usually involves a custard base that s boiled. This mixture, along with flavors, is poured into a container surrounded by ice and salt, or into a refrigerated unit. Then, it s stirred continuously using either a hand crank or an electric motor until the ice cream starts to freeze softly. After that, it s often put in the freezer to harden further.
The first Ice Cream The earliest evidence of anything approaching ice cream being made was in China in the Tang period (A.D. 618-907). Buffalo, cows and goats milk was heated and allowed to ferment. This yoghurt was then mixed with flour for thickening, camphor (yes camphor!) for flavor and refrigerated before being served.
In the UK In this country Ice Cream was served at a banquet for the Feast of St. George at Windsor Castle in 1671. It was such a rare and exotic dish that only the guests on King Charles II s table had one plate of white strawberries and one plate of iced cream. All the other guests had to watch and marvel at what the Royal table were eating. The technique of making a custard based ice cream using egg yolks started in France around the middle of the 18th century and this is the origin of custard based ice cream. The Americans had to wait until 1800 to get their first taste of ice cream. Such was the interest and demand for ice cream that wealthy people built ice houses on their estates. Ice, farmed in winter from lakes, ponds and rivers was stored under straw and bark, until the summer when it was used for cooling drinks, making water ices and iced creams . The ice was of such a poor quality that it was never actually put in food, it was only ever used to chill and freeze food and drinks.
