The earliest references to something resembling ice cream come from China around 200 BC, where nobles enjoyed a mixture of snow, rice, and milk. In ancient Rome, Emperor Nero would send slaves to fetch snow from the mountains to mix it with fruit and honey.
Our beloved dessert evolved over time, reaching Europe in the 13th century when Marco Polo returned from China with recipes for frozen treats.
Over the years, ice cream became popular all around the world, and today, we enjoy countless flavors and combinations!
