ice cream

Cone's cold filling

Ice cream is a frozen dessert made from cream, sugar, and flavorings.

It comes in countless varieties—vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and more inventive flavors.

We stopped for ice cream after the movie.

The term extends to similar frozen treats even when made with different bases: dairy-free ice cream.

As an adjective: ice cream cone, ice cream truck.
