Who invented soft ice cream?

Answer 1

Invention of the Ice Cream is one of those messy histories. It had many discoveries, but has no true invention. The following time line will show you since when did the inventions of ice cream began.
A.D 54–68

: For centuries, iced desserts were a luxury. Roman Emperor Nero is said to have sent his slaves into the mountains to fetch snow to mix with nectar, fruit pulp, and honey, although this widely told tale may be a myth.

A.D. 618–907

: The origins of ice cream date back to China's T'ang period, probably as a dish for the country's rulers. The founder of the dynasty, King T'ang of Shang, kept 94 "ice men" on hand to lug ice to the palace to make a dish made of koumiss (heated, fermented milk), flour, and camphor.

1744

: American colonists brought along recipes from Europe. On May 19, 1744, a group of VIP's dined at the home of Maryland Governor Thomas Bladen. Present was a Scottish colonist who described "a Dessert...Among the Rarities of which is was Compos'd, was some fine Ice Cream which, with the Strawberries and Milk, eat most deliciously." This is the first written account of ice cream consumption in the new colonies.

1782

: Ever hear how Martha Washington left a bowl of sweet cream on the back steps of Mount Vernon one night, and the next morning discovered ice cream? Nice story, but not true. George Washington did have, described in his ledger, "a cream machine for ice."

1843

: Until September 9, 1843, ice cream was made by the "pot freezer method," but on this day, Nancy M. Johnson of Philadelphia got her "artificial freezer" patented, containing a tub, cylinder, lid, dasher, and crank. This design is still widely used today.

1850

: Baltimore dairyman Jacob Fussell opened the first commercial ice cream factory. He had a surplus of cream—so he build an ice cream factory in Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, and shipped it to Baltimore by train. Business boomed, and Fussell became the father of the wholesale ice cream industry.

1880

: Buffalo, NY; Evanston, IL; Two Rivers, WI; and Ithaca, NY all claim to have invented the ice cream sundae. Wherever it happened, it first started appearing in soda fountains during the 1880's. It was invented because ice cream sodas weren't allowed to be sold on Sundays; the ice cream sundae was a way to circumvent that restriction. On September 22, 1903, there is a recorded application for a patent for the ice cream cone by Italo Marchiony.

1939

: Grocery stores didn't start selling ice cream until the 1930's, and by WWII, ice cream had become so popular that it turned into somewhat of an American symbol (Mussolini banned it in Italy for that same reason). Ice cream was great for troop morale, and in 1943, the U.S. Armed Forces were the world's largest ice cream manufacturers!

Answer 2

According to "Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla a History of American Ice Cream" the invention of soft serve ice cream took place in the mid-1930's, but there are two stories to the invention. In one the founders of Dairy Queen created the variation and in other a man named Thomas Carvelas invented it. According to the book " The Cone with the Curl on Top" J.F. McCullough and his son Alex opened an ice cream shop in 1927 in Davenport, Illinois. In the early 1930's they moved to an ice cream factory in Green River, Illinois and decided to find out if customer preferred ice cream before it was completely frozen. The colder ice cream had less flavor than softer. The found that people did like the softer and bought a machine from a street vendor in Chicago in 1939. They tweaked the design and sold their frozen custard to a store run by Sherb Noble in Joliet, Illinois in 1940. They nicknamed it Dairy Queen and bought a second store in 1941. According to National Geographic and Nibble magazine Carvelas sold ice cream on the street in NY and after a flat tire in Hartsdale, NY caused his ice cream to melt he sold the melting ice cream as a new treat. People loved it so he opened the Carvel Frozen Custard in Hartsdale in 1934 and began to build a series of frozen custard shops along the highways and built a soft serve machine in 1939. Both groups continued to improve the design of the their machines and expand business. Carvelas expanded and a new shop opened called Tastee-Freez so by 1956 soft serve ice cream was very popular.
