ice cream sundae

Sundae-style frozen desserts commonly come in three formats: multi-count mini cones, carton/tub formats (quart and larger cartons), and pint-style sundae tubs that include layered toppings or a whipped-topping layer.

Sundae-in-a-pint tubs typically include a layer of whipped topping plus swirl ribbons and chunky mix-ins placed on top of the ice cream base — examples include toffee, cookie pieces, fudge chunks or fudge chips.

Product descriptions recommend serving them in a bowl or cone, as sundaes topped with sauce and whipped cream, or using tubs to make sundaes and shakes. Individual mini cones are often suggested as single-serve after-dinner snacks.

Smaller, portion-oriented formats—especially multi-count mini cone boxes—are explicitly called portion- and kid-friendly. Descriptions and reviews also note smaller single-serve sizes as suitable for children and for portion control.
