The general term ice-cream is commonly used to denote frozen food made from such a mixture of dairy products as will give the desired percentage of butterfat and non-fat milk solids, together with sugar, colouring and stabilizer, and with or without eggs, fruit, nuts, etc. and usually made smooth by whipping or stirring during the freezing processes.
Although the product is typically American, we cannot claim its origin. Early history of ice-cream making is very scanty, however the product is definitely known to have been introduced from Europe. Various records of frozen ices have been found in European history of the 16th century. The introduction of ice cream into United States has been credited to Mrs. Alexander Hamilton. The United States has gained undisputed leadership among all the other countries in the production of ice cream.
Over 40 per cent of the ice-cream is made during the early summer months when there is a seasonal increase in milk production. The value of ice cream as food is now realized and much scientific knowledge has been gained in the production and merchandizing of ice cream.

Food value of ice cream
The milk products which go into the ice cream contain the same constituents as does the whole milk, but in different amounts. Ice cream contains 3 or 4 times as much fat and about 12 to 16 per cent more obtain than does milk. Milk and its products such as ice cream are among the richest sources of calcium, phosphorus and other minerals of vital importance in building bones and teeth.
Ice cream also provides valuable milk proteins which are the most perfect proteins known and are completely assimilated by the body tissues. Like milk ice cream is a rich source of many of the essential vitamins such as vitamins A, B (thiamin), R (riboflavin) and others.
