So what is the history of this cherished dessert? There is no known inventor for this delectable dessert. However, ice cream history can be said to be as rich as gelato. It is believed that ice cream, like food, was first consumed in China sometime between 618-97 AD. It was made from buffalo milk, flour, and camphor. About a thousand years later, Marco Polo, who had returned to Italy from the Far East, had brought a recipe for sherbet, which ultimately, according to historians, evolved into ice cream sometime in the 16th century.
