Ice cream Ice cream is a frozen dairy confection , usually consumed as a snack or dessert . The earliest precursors of ice cream were around as early as 400 BC in Persia , and frozen desserts were developed in tandem by many different people all over the world . However , the sweet mixture of milk , cream and egg that we are familiar with today didn ' t become popular and widespread until the 18th century . Early ice cream was usually produced by churning the ingredients with ice in a hand - cranked device ( a process arduously duplicated by Telly in " Elmo ' s Magic Cookbook " ) . With the advent of refrigeration , however , and the ice cream parlor , consumers could indulge in frozen sweetness without labor , even going so far as to eat directly out of the carton . Ice cream is a very popular foodstuff on " Sesame Street " . Ernie , Prairie Dawn , Count von Count , Mr . Hooper and many others have sold ice cream , and it ' s hard to find a character on Sesame Street that hasn ' t eaten or at least mentioned it . It has even been claimed that " everyone likes ice cream " . This theory has not been proven , but such noted figures as George Washington , Thomas Jefferson , and Benjamin Franklin were devotees of the substances . Some have gone so far as to suggest that ice cream is the world ' s second greatest gift : after children and before laughter ( Kermit the Frog and Walter in " The Muppets " ) . Ice Cream ' s Temporal Nature . The fleeting nature of life ' s sweetest pleasures can be amply demonstrated by the tendency of ice cream to melt if not consumed quickly . Like many good things , ice cream can and will desert us , or at least make a mess , if we do not take timely precautions to preserve it . Ice Cream as Unhealthy Temptation . In 2005 , " Sesame Street " undertook an initiative to promote healthy eating and exercise habits , called Healthy Habits for Life . Sadly , this means that ice cream and its sugary relatives have been relegated to a lesser role in the show , and have occasionally been denigrated directly or by implication .
