EVERYBODY LOVES ICE CREAM |
At first, commercial ice cream was a treat to be bought and eaten immediately because home kitchens didn’t have effective freezers until the mid-1920s and 1930s. Before electric or gaspowered freezers, having ice cream at home likely meant that someone had to turn the crank of a hand ice cream freezer full of milk or cream, sugar, flavoring, and perhaps a thickener for twenty minutes or more.
