neapolitan ice cream
Noun: A type of ice cream that is formed into a rectangular block and consists of three or four distinct, parallel layers. Each layer is a different flavor and color, traditionally including chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, which are often arranged side-by-side.
This term refers specifically to the multi-layered, multi-flavored ice cream product. It is typically served in slices that include all the layers. - For dessert, she ordered a slice of Neapolitan ice cream. - The classic flavors in Neapolitan ice cream are chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
- The term can be used attributively (like an adjective) to describe other food items that feature a similar layered combination of flavors.

- Block ice cream: A more general term, but does not specify the multiple flavors.
