Chocolate Ice Cream
A glorious creation,
chocolate ice cream is one of the most popular ice creams.
From the USA to China. From Elvis Presley to Jackie Chan - chocolate ice cream has many fans.
Just what makes
chocolate ice cream so popular? In my view it's a special magic that rarely happens in food combinations - in the case of chocolate ice cream the two foods brought together both 'melt in the mouth'. Ice cream of course is colder than normal body temperature and chocolate melts at 34C - 3 degrees below normal body temperature is 37C. So as a 'combination' food it doesn't get more appealing!
In addition, there are chocolate lovers who enjoy all things chocolate so they naturally gravitate towards chocolate ice cream and there are ice cream lovers who love to try all flavors of ice cream. So chocolate ice cream enjoys an even bigger audience coming from two very different food worlds.
The popularity of
chocolate ice cream is so significant that ice cream makers have developed many variations of it. Here is a list of some of the most popular - including links to my own chocolate ice cream recipes:
Chocolate chip ice cream
White chocolate ice cream
Mint choc chip ice cream
Chocolate fudge ice cream
Chocolate caramel ice cream
Chocolate milkshakes ice cream (a favorite of Elvis Presley)
