About National Chocolate Ice Cream Day
It might seem odd to have a day for one flavour of ice cream, but chocolate ice cream was one of the earliest variations, pre-dating the more common vanilla.
The earliest frozen chocolate recipes were published in Naples, Italy in 1693 in Antonio Latini's The Modern Steward. Chocolate was one of the first ice cream flavors, created before vanilla, as common drinks such as hot chocolate, coffee, and tea were the first food items to be turned into frozen desserts.
