Neapolitan ice cream, also sometimes referred to as Harlequin ice cream,[1] is an ice cream composed of three flavors (typically vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry) arranged side by side. Although Neapolitan is associated with Naples in Italy, it was first recorded in Prussia in 1839.
History
Neapolitan ice cream was the first ice cream recipe to combine three flavors.[2] The first recorded recipe was created by head chef of the royal Prussian household Louis Ferdinand Jungius in 1839, who dedicated the recipe to the nobleman Fürst Pückler.[3]
The English-language name of Neapolitan arose in the late 19th century due to confusion about its origin given Italy's reputation for ice cream[4] or because its colors—originally green (pistachio), white (vanilla) and red (cherry)—matched those of the Italian flag.[5] Early recipes featured a variety of flavors, but the combination of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry became the standard, likely because these were the most popular flavors in the United States at the time of its introduction.[6]

Cosmopolitan slice. A slice of ice-cream cake made with mousse mixture and ordinary ice cream, presented in a small pleated paper case. Neapolitan ice cream consists of three layers, each of a different colour and flavour (chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla), moulded into a block and cut into slices. Neapolitan ice-cream makers were famous in Paris at the beginning of the 19th century, especially Tortoni, creator of numerous ice-cream cakes.
