National Chocolate Ice Cream Day

June 7th is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day in the United States.

Another day which celebrates something that's just what it sounds like. Chocolate ice cream is a self-explanatory name, as it's ice cream that's flavoured with chocolate. Chocolate ice cream is not just one thing, though, as there are many different varieties and variations, just as there are different types of chocolate.

Chocolate ice cream is one of the most popular flavours, and the standard type dates back to 17th century Italy. Cocoa powder is blended with the ice cream, which adds the flavour and gives it its distinctive brown colouration.

Other, often more expensive, varieties of chocolate ice cream can have actual chunks of chocolate added to the mixture, and these can be of different types, such as dark, white and milk.

Other ice creams can be based on or use chocolate ice cream, such as rocky road.
