Ice cream is a frozen dessert typically made
from milk or cream that has been flavoured with
a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative,
and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with
fruit, such as strawberries or peaches.
Chocolate ice cream is ice cream with natural
or artificial chocolate flavoring.
One of the oldest flavors of ice creams,
it is also one of the world's most popular.
While most often sold alone, it is also a base
for many other flavors.
Chocolate ice cream is generally made by blending
cocoa powder, and the eggs, cream, vanilla, and sugar
used to make vanilla ice cream. Sometimes chocolate
liquor is used in addition to cocoa powder or used
exclusively to create the chocolate flavor.
Cocoa powder gives chocolate ice cream its brown
color, and it is uncommon to add other colorings.
