What Is Neapolitan Ice Cream?

Let’s start at the beginning. What actually IS Neapolitan Ice cream? I mean, it’s a whole thing that has been around for ages, but it’s regularly overlooked. But it’s kind of the perfect ice cream flavor for those of us who can never decide. And I swear whenever I eat it, I always think it’s pretty perfect! After a little internet searching I found that the theory on the Neapolitan ice cream we all know, made up of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream, originally came from immigrants from the Italian city of Naples. They brought over with them, the frozen dessert Spumoni, which is a molded gelato dessert made up of layers that typically would represent the colors of the Italian flag. I am no historian, so correct me if I’m wrong on this. Anyhow, since chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are 3 popular flavors here in the States it got a little morphed into “Neapolitan”.
