In 1929, Dreyer and Edy gave the flavor its current name “to give folks something to smile about in the midst of the Great Depression.”

Chocolate chip cookie dough has become a standard add-on in Cold Stone, MaggieMoo’s and other boutique ice creameries.

3. Vanilla

Vanilla was first introduced to Europe after the conquest of the Aztecs. There it was developed into vanilla-flavored cocoa drinks. Hugh Morgan, the apothecary of Queen Elizabeth I, recommended that vanilla be used separately from cocoa.

It is believed that American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson discovered the flavor in France and then introduced it to the United States.

2. Chocolate

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.
