Ice cream can be traced back as far as the fourth century, but African American confectioner and former White House chef Augustus Jackson is credited with helping to perfect techniques for the modern commercial production of ice cream in 1832, as well as developing several flavours still in popular use today. While there were many other parlours and ice cream makers in Philadelphia where he set his new catering and confectionery business, Jackson was eminently successful, eventually distributing his ice creams to parlours across the state.
