The Birth of National Ice Cream Dick Day

Surprisingly, National Ice Cream Dick Day has nothing to do with what you might be thinking. No, no, it's not a celebration of... ahem... certain body parts made out of ice cream. It's actually an internet phenomenon that took the web by storm.

Introduction of cream-based ices

In the 17th century, Italian chefs began experimenting with different frozen desserts, and it was during this time that the concept of cream-based ices emerged. These early versions were likely more akin to modern-day gelato, made with milk, cream, sugar, and various flavors.
