Strawberry ice cream is a flavor of ice cream made with strawberry or strawberry flavoring. It is made by blending in fresh strawberries or strawberry flavoring with the eggs, cream, vanilla, and sugar used to make ice cream.[1][2] Most strawberry ice cream is colored pink or light red. Strawberry ice cream dates back at least to 1813, when it was served at the second inauguration of James Madison.[3] Along with vanilla and chocolate ice cream, strawberry is one of the three flavors in Neapolitan ice cream. Variations of strawberry ice cream include strawberry cheesecake ice cream and strawberry ripple ice cream, which is vanilla ice cream with a ribbon of strawberry jam or syrup. Some ice cream sandwiches are prepared neapolitan-style, and include strawberry ice cream. According to a poll among American adults from July 13–18 of 2022, 43 percent of respondents stated that they enjoy strawberry ice cream while 6 percent stated that strawberry ice cream was their favorite flavor of ice cream.[4] National Strawberry Ice Cream day is celebrated every year on January 15.

History

The earliest account of strawberry ice cream occurred in 1744, when Thomas Bladen, the governor of Maryland, served a dessert of frozen strawberries and ice cream to commissioners. At the time of its creation, it was among some of the earliest ice-cream flavours ever created.[5]

The strawberry ice cream is steeped in legend, when in the early 19th, berries were used to flavor and color a unique desert created by Sallie Shadd, a freed slave whose family ran a tearoom in Wilmington, Delaware.

In 1812, Dolley Madison served a magnificent creation of strawberry ice cream during President James Madison's inaugural banquet at the White House in Washington D.C.

In 1813, James Madison's wife and first lady, Dolley Madison, created it for the second inaugural banquet at the White House. It has since been voted as the 8th most popular ice cream in America. It is one of the ice cream flavors in Neapolitan ice cream. Strawberry ice cream has a holiday on January 15. It has adopted a Pinkish color. This is also Mr. Jackson's favorite ice cream.

From 1856 to 1859, Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Abraham Lincoln was noted for frequently hosting Strawberry Parties in Springfield, Illinois to commemorate berry season. These parties included many treats, such as strawberry ice cream and were hosted before her husband, Abraham Lincoln's time as president.[6]

Stores quickly noticed the boom in Strawberry Ice Cream in the early-to-middle 20th Century. A major brand, Baskin Robbins became one of the first stores to adopt the flavor.[7]
