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 sold in the United States in 1922 and was named after the Klondike River in Alaska and Canada.[3]
In recent years the term "choc ice" has become a racial slur used to describe a person figuratively "black on the outside, white on the inside".[4][5]
