Yes, unfortunately ice cream can contain caffeine. “As for chocolate and coffee ice cream, it follows that the ice cream might contain caffeine because it’s made with a caffeine-containing ingredient,” says Sullivan Morford.
While Häagen-Dazs states on its website that caffeine levels in its ice cream (per a 2/3-cup serving) or ice cream bars can go all the way up to 35 milligrams, Bon Appétit reports that a 2/3-cup serving of Häagen-Dazs coffee ice cream will put you at about 29 milligrams caffeine.
Take note that coffee ice cream isn’t the only type of ice cream that contains caffeine. Other flavors that contain coffee and chocolate, such as Java Chip, also boast caffeine. Of course, chocolate ice cream will likely contain less caffeine than coffee ice cream.
“By the time chocolate is turned into ice cream—with the addition of milk, cream, and sugar—it likely has very little caffeine.,” says Sullivan Morford.
