Wikipedia: Ice cream social
An ice cream social or ice cream sociable is an informal social event at which the main focus is the serving and eating of ice cream. Ice cream socials typically include multiple ice cream flavors and a variety of toppings such as syrups, whipped cream, and sprinkles for guests to choose from.[1][2] Such events often allow guests to assemble their own custom desserts or request specific ingredients from those serving them. The event developed in the United States in the 19th century.
