The History Of Ice Cream

The history of Ice cream traces back to the third century BC. They don't have a definite inventor or creator of Ice cream but many people started out by using snow and flavoring. During the Roman Empire, emperor Nero sent runners up to the mountains to gather snow to bring back to him. He would then add fruit flavoring too create a sweet taste. Years later, Marco Polo came to the US with a recipe similar to Sherbet. Historians then guessed that Sherbet evolved into Ice cream later. The development of Ice cream made a huge impact not only on the economic structure of our world, but on our own personal enjoyments as well.
