Jersey Ice Cream

During the 1770s, ice creams were referred to as "iced puddings" or "ice cream puddings." The cones used were referred to as wafers. During this period, wafers were considered as "stomach settlers" and were served at the end to the meal to calm the digestion. They eventually became luxurious treats and become an important element of the dessert course. When rolled into the "funnels" or "cornucopias," they can be filled with all sorts of fruit pastes, creams, and iced puddings.
