Answer 2

French-style ice creams descended from medieval custards and creams. Freezing them was an idea made possible by advances in technology. A survey of old French, English, and American cookbooks confirms this recipe was well known, although it was known by many different names.

"About 1700 a pamphlet of ice-cream and sherbet reciepes was published entitled L'Art de Faire des Glaces, and by then the major capitals of Europe were well familiar with the dish...Thomas Jefferson, who wrote extensive notes on making the confection, has been credited with bringing "French-style" ice cream, made with egg yolks, to America. He also had an ice-ream-making machine he called a "sorbetiere" at Monticello, where he followed a recipe that called for a stick of vanilla...two bottles of cream, and an egg-custard mixture, boiled, stirred, reheated, strained, and put in an ice pail'."
---Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, John F. Mariani [Lebhar-Friedman:New York] 1999 (p. 163-4)
