The Roman Emperor Nero (37–68 AD) had ice brought from the mountains and combined it with fruit toppings to create chilled delicacies. "They poured a mixture of snow and saltpetre over the exteriors of containers filled with syrup, for, in the same way as salt raises the boiling point of water, it lowers the freezing point to below zero." Hippocrates encouraged his Ancient Greek patients to eat ice "as it livens the life-juices and increases the well-being." ChinaĪ frozen mixture of milk and rice was used in China around 200 BC. The most popular Persian ice cream now is bastani sonnati.ĭuring the 5th century BC, ancient Greeks ate snow mixed with honey and fruit in the markets of Athens. The ice was mixed with saffron, fruits, and various other flavours. In 400 BC, the Persians invented a special chilled food, made of rose water and vermicelli, which was served to royalty during summers. The history of ice creams probably began around 500 BC in the Achaemenid Empire of Iran (Persia) with ice combined with flavors to produce summertime treats.
Ice cream may be served with other desserts, such as apple pie, or as an ingredient in ice cream floats, sundaes, milkshakes, ice cream cakes and even baked items, such as Baked Alaska. Ice cream may be served in dishes, for eating with a spoon, or licked from edible cones. Analogues made from dairy alternatives, such as goat's or sheep's milk, or milk substitutes (e.g., soy, cashew, coconut, almond milk or tofu), are available for those who are lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy protein, or vegan. In other countries, such as Italy and Argentina, one word is used for all variants. Products that do not meet the criteria to be called ice cream are sometimes labelled " frozen dairy dessert" instead. In some countries, such as the United States, "ice cream" applies only to a specific variety, and most governments regulate the commercial use of the various terms according to the relative quantities of the main ingredients, notably the amount of cream. Terms such as "frozen custard," "frozen yogurt," "sorbet," "gelato," and others are used to distinguish different varieties and styles. The meaning of the name "ice cream" varies from one country to another. It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures (below 2 ☌ or 35 ☏). The mixture is stirred to incorporate air spaces and cooled below the freezing point of water to prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. Colourings are usually added, in addition to stabilizers.
It may be made from dairy milk or cream and is flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and any spice, such as cocoa or vanilla. Ice cream (derived from earlier iced cream or cream ice) is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert.
