I’m not gonna argue with that. it is a classic american dessert. (especially together. A 4th of July staple if ever there was one.)
But, just for the record… because I find the history of icecream intriguing…
one of the earlier recordings of an ice cream recipe (and the salty-ice method of making it,) comes from a medical text written by a Syrian historian in the 1300’s.
Apples, too, weren’t native to America and brought over by colonists (though, the Ottoman empire had apple pies, too. And probably ice cream. One wonders if they were enlightened enough to put them together…)

Almost nothing “American”‘is from America, just a part of the national identity.
