At the beginning of the 1900s, the legendary Auguste Escoffier dedicated dream ice cream cups to the most beautiful and interesting women of his time.
The beautiful American actress and singer Edna May inspired him for this creation, which combines three things that drive me crazy: ice cream, whipped cream, and cherries. Yummy!
