Any cones or toppings that you add to your ice cream will add additional calories, so keep this in mind. Use the healthier options as toppings, such as fruit or nuts. A cake cone has fewer calories than a sugar or waffle cone.

Additionally, nearly half of the calories per serving are from fat. Keep in mind that any item you purchase is more than one serving of custard as they are all greater than 4 oz.
