It was chocolate ice cream day yesterday. My all time favorite ice cream. I am so glad found no sugar added one so can have.

Last night I came across this thread by @Albert Sailhorst on chocolate ice cream.

I thought other forum members might enjoy this period recipe from 1830. This is taken from the YouTube channel Early American which I highly recommend for those interested in period recipes. While meals 150 to 200 years ago required much more preparation, they were definitely worth it.
