Icecream

Icecream (/aɪsˈkriːm/), also known as frozen dessert, is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It is usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors.

Etymology

The term "ice cream" comes from the American English phrase, which was derived from the earlier term "iced cream" or "cream ice". The origins of these phrases are unknown, but the first documented use of "iced cream" was in 1744 in a letter written by a guest of Maryland Governor William Bladen.
