Morphology
The meaning 'ice cream flavored with chocolate' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'chocolate' (the flavor) with 'ice cream' (a frozen dairy dessert); the phrase is compositional rather than idiomatic. This modifier+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English noun-compound logic, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Chocolate ice cream comes from a simple picture: people mixed chocolate into ice cream to make a new flavor. That's why it means 'ice cream flavored with chocolate'.
