Quick answer

The Dairy Queen Ice Cream Menu includes soft-serve cones, dipped cones, sundaes, Cupfections, Banana Split, Peanut Buster Parfait and take-home novelties. At three selected stores, single bars, sandwiches and Cupfections ranged from $3.11 to $8.74; six-packs ranged from $12.49 to $20.39. Current public pickup samples list regular cones from $2.39 to $4.49, dipped cones from $2.59 to $4.69 and sundaes from $3.59 to $4.69. These are observed local prices, not fixed national rates. For blended flavors and Royal treats, see our Dairy Queen Blizzard Menu. Brand history, rewards, locations and all related guides are available in our complete DQ overview.

AUG 2026
The national classic-treat catalog currently features the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Dipped Cone with Cinnadust and the Peanut Brittle Crunch Cone & Sundae. DQ also lists Small Sundaes on its 2 for $5 Mix & Match menu. The 2026 Free Cone Day event is complete, so it should not be treated as a live promotion.

Dairy Queen Ice Cream Menu Prices

Dairy Queen does not publish one nationwide price list. Most U.S. restaurants are independently owned, and a treat that appears on the national website may not be offered online—or at all—by every store. The first table uses the same three locations as our complete Dairy Queen menu price guide.

The locked delivery menus did not expose cones, sundaes, Banana Split or Peanut Buster Parfait during this check. To answer size-price searches without guessing, the next table uses two clearly named public pickup samples. It should be read as a current market example—not as pricing for the three stores above.

DQ Cones and Dipped Cones

DQ’s signature treat is vanilla soft serve served with the curl on top. Current U.S. cone pages show Kids, Small, Medium and Large options. The official lineup contains these core and seasonal choices:

Current cone menu

TreatType / statusSizes and description
Vanilla ConeCore menuKids, Small, Medium and Large; vanilla soft serve in a cake cone
Chocolate Dipped ConeCore menuVanilla soft serve covered in a crisp chocolatey coating

Peanut Brittle Crunch Cone & SundaeSecret-menu / participating storesPeanut-flavored crunchy coating with colorful sprinkles; availability varies

Some restaurants carry optional chocolate or twist soft serve and extra cone coatings, but DQ’s FAQ specifically notes that these optional items are not available everywhere.

Dairy Queen Sundae Menu

A standard DQ sundae combines vanilla soft serve with one topping. Current national product pages include Chocolate, Caramel, Strawberry, Hot Fudge and Peanut Butter sundaes in Small, Medium and Large sizes. The current 2 for $5 page also lists pineapple as a possible topping at participating restaurants.

Hot Fudge SundaeSmall / Medium / LargeWarm hot fudge over vanilla soft serve
Peanut Butter SundaeSmall / Medium / LargePeanut butter topping; contains peanuts

Cupfections, Parfaits and Banana Split

These larger assembled desserts sit above a basic cone or sundae in price and complexity. A Brownie and OREO Cupfection layers vanilla soft serve with a triple-chocolate brownie, OREO pieces, chocolatey topping and marshmallow topping. The HEATH Caramel Brownie Cupfection adds brownie, hot fudge, caramel and HEATH pieces.

The Peanut Buster Parfait uses layers of vanilla soft serve, hot fudge and peanuts. The Banana Split is one of DQ’s Royal Treats and combines a split banana with soft serve and classic toppings. Cupfections were listed at $7.43–$8.74 across the three primary stores; parfait and split pricing was not surfaced by those digital menus.

Dilly Bars, Buster Bars and DQ Sandwiches

Frozen novelties are useful when you want a portioned treat or a box to keep at home. All three locked stores listed Dilly Bars, Buster Bars, DQ Sandwiches and several six-packs during the price check.

Dairy Queen frozen treats including Dilly Bars, Buster Bars and DQ ice cream sandwiches
Dilly Bars, peanut-and-fudge Buster Bars and DQ Sandwich-style frozen novelties can be bought singly or in multipacks at participating stores.
  • Dilly Bar: vanilla soft serve with a crisp flavored coating. The official page currently shows Chocolate, Cherry and Butterscotch choices; local menus may add or remove flavors.
  • Buster Bar: vanilla soft serve layered with fudge and peanuts, then covered in a chocolatey coating.
  • DQ Sandwich: vanilla soft serve between two chocolate-flavored wafers. It appeared at all three checked stores even though it was not listed in the current national Classic Treats sitemap group.
Manufactured versus store-made: DQ says nutrition shown on the Dilly Bar and Buster Bar product pages applies to manufactured bars in clear plastic wrappers. Bars in white paper bags are made in the restaurant; check their packaging for the applicable nutrition information.

Non-Dairy Dilly Bar

The Non-Dairy Dilly Bar is the clearest plant-based choice in the current classic-treat lineup. DQ describes it as dairy-free, gluten-free and plant-based, made with a coconut-cream base and a chocolatey coating. It contains soy and has 240 calories. A single cost $3.35–$3.86 across the three selected stores, while six-packs ranged from $16.24 to $20.15.

“Dairy-free” does not mean allergen-free. DQ warns that allergens are present in its restaurants and cross-contact can occur, so guests with a serious allergy should speak with the local store before ordering.

Dairy Queen Ice Cream Calories

Dairy Queen’s official treats nutrition table says its information is current as of March 30, 2026. Calories rise with size and richer toppings. The tables below keep calorie data separate from allergens so both remain readable on desktop and mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is Dairy Queen ice cream in 2026?

Current public pickup samples list regular cones or dishes from $2.39 to $4.49, dipped cones from $2.59 to $4.69 and sundaes from $3.59 to $4.69. Exact prices vary by restaurant, and taxes or add-ons may raise the total.

What cone sizes does Dairy Queen sell?

Current U.S. product pages show Kids, Small, Medium and Large cones. A store can limit which sizes or coatings it offers.

Does DQ still have the 2 for $5 sundae deal?

Yes, the official Small Sundae page currently places it on the 2 for $5 Mix & Match menu at participating locations, plus tax. Check the local menu before ordering.

What is the cheapest DQ ice cream item?

In the size-price samples checked, a Kids regular cone or dish started at $2.39. Among the three locked delivery menus, a single Dilly Bar or DQ Sandwich started at $3.11.

Does Dairy Queen have chocolate ice cream?

Some restaurants offer chocolate or twist soft serve, but DQ’s FAQ describes these as optional items that are not available at every location. Current national classic-treat pages primarily describe vanilla soft serve.

Is the Non-Dairy Dilly Bar vegan?

Dairy Queen describes it as plant-based, dairy-free and gluten-free. Its ingredients include coconut cream and soy lecithin. Shared restaurant environments still create cross-contact risk.

Are Dilly Bars gluten-free?

DQ’s allergen guidance says clear, sealed manufactured novelties such as Dilly Bars are made without wheat, rye, oats or barley in a facility with limited cross-contact risk. This does not include store-made Dilly Bars in paper bags.

What has fewer calories: a cone or sundae?

A Kids Vanilla Cone has 160 calories. Small sundaes in the current official table range from 240 calories for Strawberry to 380 for Peanut Butter, so the Kids cone is lower than the standard Small sundaes compared here.

Where are Dairy Queen Blizzard prices?

See the dedicated Dairy Queen Blizzard Menu for current flavors, size prices, Royal Blizzards, calories, allergens and deals.

Our Methodology

National product status, descriptions, calories and allergens were checked against Dairy Queen’s official U.S. sitemap, treat nutrition table, product pages, offer pages and FAQ on 24 Aug 2026.

Price anchors: 2530 Bethel Rd, Columbus, OH 43220; 5636 W Irving Pk Rd, Chicago, IL 60634; and 225 Osborne Rd NE, Fridley, MN 55432. Exact fixed-treat prices came from current public pickup menus for these stores.

Because those digital menus did not list cones and sundaes, size-price examples came from current public pickup menus in Ames, Iowa and Houston/Tomball, Texas. Each is labeled as a secondary market sample. No competitor estimate was used as a verified price.
