The first advertisement for ice cream in America appeared in the New York Gazette in 1777 by confectioner Philip Lenzi.

Making ice cream before the arrival of electricity was no small feat. It required laborious labor, beating cream in a pewter pot within a larger pot of salt and ice. Many current ice cream machines are based on this timeworn but successful method.

By the 1780's, frozen desserts were so popular that rudimentary ice cream makers were already on the market. It is said that First Lady Dolley Madison truly popularized ice cream by making it a recurrent offering at the White House from 1809 to 1817.
