CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM PARTY DAY

Chocolate ice cream was actually invented before vanilla because the earliest ice cream flavors were modeled after drinks. So chocolate naturally came before vanilla because hot chocolate was very popular in 17th century Europe. The Italians froze hot chocolate in 1692 and tada, the first chocolate ice cream was created! Today, the United States alone produces around 1.6 billion gallons of ice cream each year. Whether you prefer your chocolate ice cream in a cone, a cup, a sundae, or a milkshake, indulge in a scoop or two today! Happy National Chocolate Ice Cream Day!

Challenge: Design a yummy chcolate-colored HA and post it besides a picture of you fav chocolate ice cream dish. The HA doesn´t have to be monochrome, though. Perhaps you like strawberries on top? Just do it! You don´t like chocolate ice cream at all? Don´t worry, you are able to participate nevertheless. Just post a pic of your fav flavor and design a HA in corresponding colors.

End date: 10th of June, midight Subeta time.

You're making me hungry! XD When you say "dish" do you mean the "cone, a cup, a sundae, or a milkshake?"

Yes, whatever is your fav.

I am not that fond of chocolate but I love it when it's connected with gorgeous MINT :D

Btw it's pretty cool how chocolate flavored ice cream was invented wow :o My favorite type would be chocolate ice cream on a cone, I like the taste of the cone too :) I like any type of ice cream on a cone to be honest :p I try to dress my HA like the picture I posted so here we go! XD Outfit Not Found A chocolate ice cream person with a strawberry on top XD Couldn't find a chocolate ice cream with a strawberry at the top...

I love Icechocolate!! ♥__♥

This ice cream just came out and I LOOOVE IT :O Outfit Not Found

I could honestly eat one of these every day of my life and never get tired :P Outfit Not Found

I know that you said we didn't need to go monochromatic, but I'll be honest my favorite way to eat chocolate ice cream is straight up, nothing on it or in it except sweet delicious chocolate ice cream ;)

Is it horrible I don't eat ice cream? But I do eat one of these almost every night after dinner. Cookie dough - yummmmm!

That ice cream sounds delicious! I don't think I've ever had that brand, though.

What I love most is neapolitan ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry - or sometimes another three flavors, but that's the traditional set).

And it's even better as a sundae! So here's my HA interpretation of a neapolitan sundae, along with some pictures of versions of the food itself:

That´s Fürst Pückler Ice Cream in Germany, named after a famous prince. It comes as a roll or sandwich with waffles.

Ooh, nice. So I can't eat the waffle parts of the Fürst Pückler desserts, but the ice cream is still my favorite! Thank you for the cross cultural information. I wonder what it's called other places (if they have it at all)?

Good Humor brand makes ice cream sandwiches like that (not waffle though):

I can't eat those either but they look pretty good :)

[edit] I just looked up the history of this treat and apparently it started out as cherry, vanilla and pistachio (green) ice cream to match the Italian flag! Then strawberry replaced cherry (as looking very similar but more popular), and then chocolate replaced the pistachio because people liked chocolate ice cream so much. A similar thing happened with spumoni ice cream (usually now pistachio/cherry/chocolate) which had its vanilla change to chocolate because of chocolate's popularity.

Also, apparently chocolate was one of the earliest created ice cream flavors, because people came up with it by freezing their hot chocolate! Good to know, right? :)

Chocolate Ice Cream Contest ends today at midnight, my lovelies! <3

I'm too intimidated to make one. There are some pretty fantastic entries!! :)
