William Dreyer made his first frozen dessert to celebrate his German ship's arrival in America. Dreyer partnered with candy-maker Joseph Edy, and tog.. read moreether they founded a small ice cream factory on Grand Avenue in Oakland, California. Dreyer added walnuts (later replaced with almonds) to his chocolate ice cream and, using his wife's sewing shears, cut marshmallows into bite-sized pieces to make the first batch of Rocky Road, a name that gave people something to smile about in the face of the Great Depression. Edy and Dreyer agreed to dissolve their partnership. In 1953, Dreyer retired and his son, affectionately known as Junior, took over management of the company. Edy returned to the candy-making business.
