I stumbled upon this fantastic Parmesan Cheese Ice Cream recipe, while I was researching the history of ice cream. This recipe comes from the The Complete Confectioner cookbook written by Frederick Nutt. It was first published in 1789. Nutt was a professional confectioner in London. He was an apprentice to a well-known Italian confectioner Domenico Negri, owner of “Pot& Pineapple” at London’s Berkley-Square, one of the first shops to popularize ice cream in England.
