NATIONAL CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DAY
People, of all ages, all throughout the United States, enjoy and celebrate National Chocolate Ice Cream Day each year on June 7.
Chocolate ice cream is the second most common flavor in the United States, following close behind vanilla.
In Naples, Italy in 1692, Antonio Latini’s “The Modern Steward” had the earliest frozen chocolate recipes published. Chocolate ice cream was actually created before vanilla as drinks such as hot chocolate, coffee and tea were the first food items to be turned into frozen desserts.
Italian doctor Filippo Baldini wrote an account entitled “De sorbetti,” in which he recommended chocolate ice cream as a remedy for different medical conditions including gout and scurvy.
Chocolate ice cream is generally made by blending cocoa powder along with the eggs, cream, vanilla and sugar used to make vanilla ice cream. Sometimes chocolate liquor is used in addition to cocoa powder, or it is used exclusively, to create the chocolate flavor.[7] Cocoa powder gives chocolate ice cream its brown color, and it is uncommon to add other colorings.[8][9]
The Codex Alimentarius, which provides an international set of standards for food, states that the flavor in chocolate ice cream must come from nonfat cocoa solids that must comprise at least 2.0-2.5% of the mix weight. The US Code of Federal Regulations “permits reductions in the content of milk fat and total milk solids by a factor of 2.5 times the weight of the cocoa solids”, in order to take into account the use of additional sweeteners.[10]
The minimum fat content of chocolate ice cream in both Canada and the United States is 8%, irrespective of the amount of chocolate sweetener in the recipe.[10]
