Ice cream flavors inspired by people and places from the past.

Hi! I am Hannah, the creator of A Sweet History.

I am a self taught ice cream maker with over 10 years of experience and I am an ice cream historian with a masters in gastronomy from Boston University.

A Sweet History encourages people to look at history in a new light through a universal medium: ice cream. I focus on the stories of women and other people whose stories don’t typically get told in history books or popular media. Learning history through taste allows people to be captivated by new stories, have a whimsical, bold, and delicious experience and it encourages them to ask questions and discover more.

A Sweet History began in Baltimore, Maryland in February 2017. Since then, I have made over 250 flavors.

I am currently located in New York City. 

Besides ice cream, I love oysters, vampire lore, my cat Jo, art museums, 1980s art deco interior design, 50/50 gin martinis, Negronis, a crisp glass of white wine on a summer day, and trying new food with friends and family.
