I’m pretty sure that I haven’t met a person who doesn’t like to eat ice cream, but it’s true that some ice creams are tastier than others, therefore I was wondering which are 7 countries that make the best ice cream in the world. Some of the states that consume the most ice cream per capita also make the best ice cream, but let’s hear what consumers who travel around the world say.
When was the first ice cream made? Some historians say that some kind of ice cream ( a mixture of rice and milk) was eaten in China in 200 BC! Arabs and Persians also used milk as the main ingredient, but they mixed it with nuts or dried fruit. And ice? They kept the snow in deep underground holes and used it to make this delicious dessert. The name „ice cream“ first appeared in the 18th century, when the first recipe is published in London. From then until today, the countries that make the best ice cream in the world have perfected their recipes!

When cheap refrigerators became something that everybody could afford during the second half of 20th century, ice cream became popular around the world. Since some of the greatest and the most useful things were invented accidentally, the same thing happened with an ice cream cone! Legend says that during the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904, one of the ice cream sellers realized that it is pointless to use dishes for serving ice creams and used rolled waffles as a cone!
Now let’s get back to the 21 century and see which are 7 countries that make the best ice cream in the world. In order to make our list of 7 countries that make the best ice cream in the world, we searched forums where people from all over the world discuss in which countries they ate best ice creams. We used data collected from three websites (NationalGeographic, Quora, BootsnAll), added up the numbers, making three lists of 7 countries. We gave 7 points to the country that was at the first place, 6 points to the country on second place and so on. Once again we added up the numbers to make our unique list of 7 countries that make the best ice cream in the world! Now let’s see it:

Jamaica is the country with great ice cream shops. You should definitely try some ice creams for adults, such as rum ice-cream, or the one flavored by vodka. Maybe Irish Stout ice cream or Devon House I-Scream are more up your alley? If you want something fruity, you can choose among a variety of tropical fruit flavored ice creams.
