FUN FACT: Neapolitan ice cream is a frozen dessert made of three flavors of ice cream, typically vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, layered side by side in the same container. The name comes from Italy, but the ice cream wasn't actually invented in Naples. The first recorded recipe for Neapolitan ice cream was created in 1839 by Louis Ferdinand Jungius, the head chef of the royal Prussian household.
