A choc ice is the British English term for a generic frozen dessert generally consisting of a rectangular block of ice cream—typically vanilla flavour—which is thinly coated with chocolate. In many countries, there are numerous versions of this dessert which are produced under many different brand names.
A notable American brand is Klondike,[1][2] which was introduced in the United States in 1922 and was named after the Klondike River in Alaska and Canada.[3]
The term 'choc ice' has also become a racial slur used to describe any person whom is figuratively 'black on the outside, white on the inside'.[4][5]
