Ice cream as a dairy delight was probably “discovered” in the 1600’s. The concept of flavored ices evolved, but no one is sure how. We do know that Charles I of England, or rather, his chef (either French or Italian), made ice cream a staple of the royal table. Depending on which version you read, either the chef had a secret recipe for ice cream and the king paid him a handsome reward to keep it a secret, or the chef was threatened with death if he divulged the recipe. Either way, once Chuck-One was beheaded in 1649, the chef blabbed. Soon nobility in Europe knew of, and enjoyed, “crème ice.”
This has a really interesting history of ice used in desserts and eventually ice cream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cream#H...
People were flavoring shaved ice and snow since ancient time. Exactly when they started using dairy seems a little unclear, Recipes for ice cream started appearing in American and English books in the mid 1700's, then various people played a role in making it easier for large scale production. Ice cream can't be attributed to one particular person because it evolved over time.
