The natural next step would be making ice cream into pies. Historians agree that variations of ice cream, or at least frozen treats, have been around for centuries. Earlier versions were likely more like shaved ice with honey or fruit flavors. Later versions evolved into something like sherbet, and then eventually milk was added to create a version similar to what is known today as ice cream. But the ice cream pie has a much more recent history. It seems that ice cream pie was probably developed in the United States, perhaps by Italian immigrants, at some time in the mid-20th century. This timing would go along with the introduction of the freezer into restaurants and homes. Today you can frind them at ice cream shops and grocery stores or you can make your own!

It consists of vanilla ice cream on a Popsicle stick with an outer coating of sherbert. While many other flavors now exist, the original flavor was orange. The beginnings of this sweet treat dates back to 1905 when 11 year old Frank Epperson accidentally created what would later become known as the Popsicle. As the story goes, Epperson left a concoction of fruit juice and water outside overnight when the temperatures dropped below freezing. When he found the frozen mix the next morning, with a stir stick frozen in the middle, the Popsicle was born. In 1925: The Joe Lowe Company bought the rights to the Popsicle patent and expanded the line....by 1937 the classic orange-and-vanilla Creamsicle made its official market debut. Today many other flavors exist like: cherry, grape, lime, blue raspberry, and blueberry.
