This recipe was published in 1928 by Mrs. S.R. Dull, a cooking school instructor and the former editor of the home economics page of the Atlanta Journal. At Atlanta’s iconic Swan House, built in 1928 for Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hamilton Inman, heirs to a cotton-merchandising fortune, ice cream was often on the dessert menu. The family kept cows on the property, which meant plenty of fresh milk and cream.
