"Let's be honest, when someone is heading to Chick-fil-A, there's usually one thing they're craving: a fresh and crispy fried chicken sandwich. Sure, the waffle fries are worth talking about, and the mac and cheese is a sleeper hit. But what you're really going to Chick-fil-A for is, well, the chicken. But once you've finished your meal and are craving something sweet, there is another menu option worth trying: the Icedream."
"Described by the restaurant on its website as a "delicious, frozen dairy treat," the Icedream is Chick-fil-A's take on vanilla soft serve. It contains the same core ingredients as typical ice cream recipes: milk, sugar, and flavorings, but it can't technically be labelled as such because it contains less than 10% butterfat - the marker used by the USDA to define ice cream."
"The Icedream is available to enjoy either in a cone or a cup, with the latter containing only 140 calories per serving (the cone adds another 40 calories). We like the cone, but some customers have tried to get staff to fill an entire drink cup with just Icedream. Some people say the treat reminds them of old-fashioned ice milk, while someone on Reddit praised the "perfect swirl.""
Icedream is Chick-fil-A's vanilla soft-serve made from milk, sugar, and flavorings but contains less than 10% butterfat, so it does not meet the USDA ice cream definition. The lower butterfat, lighter texture, and extra aeration produce a silky mouthfeel and refreshing simplicity. The treat is served in cones or cups; a cup serving has 140 calories and a cone adds about 40 calories. Customers compare it to old-fashioned ice milk and praise its swirl. Icedream also serves as the base for handspun milkshakes topped with whipped cream and a cherry, and permanent Icedream floats and spins became available as of January 2026.
