As the name was unfamiliar to this 'merican, I hunted up some info. Reminds me of the ice cream cake roll I used to love as a child: vanilla ice cream with chocolate sponge cake wrap. Here's the illustration for the Arctic Roll from Getty Images.

This reminds me - I came home from a restaurant with a doggie bag which included some "Gorgonzola cream." It was topping for an appetizer of grilled Portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, chopped tomato and large-leaf spinach. So the leftovers are now finished but not the "cream." What can I use it on, other than the same dish I now have had twice! lol

D = Dame Blanche - comes from Belgium and the Netherlands and is a mix of vanilla ice creamand whipped cream over which you pour warm chocolate sauce; it's a classic dessert over here, but I must admit I haven't had it in quite a while. When I was a child every year we went to dinner with my grandparents on their wedding anniversary and we always had Dame Blanche.
