June 7th is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. How will you celebrate?
Eat your favorite chocolate ice cream (plain, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Almond Fudge, Rocky Road, etc.)?
Have a scoop atop a slice of apple or blueberry pie?
Make a Blondie Sandwich or Brownie Sandwich or Jumbo Cookie Sandwich with chocolate ice cream in the middle?
Have a chocolate shake, ice cream soda (a.k.a. float) or Brown Cow?
Make a Chocolate Stout Float with chocolate stout and chocolate ice cream or a regular Guinness Float?
We took a fruit route: We had a pint of fresh raspberries, which we mixed into a pint of Talenti Belgian Milk Chocolate Gelato (here’s the difference between gelato and ice cream).
