- A single serving of Tillamook strawberry ice cream.
- Diced shortcake
- Strawberry compote
- Biscoff Crumbles
- Freshly made whipped cream
Since the sundaes are prepared at your seat, you can request as much or as little of each topping as you prefer. Additionally, United’s other plated desserts, along with the signature fruit and cheese plate, will still be available as alternative choices for a post-dinner dessert.
Offering ice cream sundaes as a conclusion to a business-class meal has developed into a customary practice among U.S. airlines. Over the years, American Airlines has collaborated with Haagen Dazs to craft delicious sundaes in flight. It’s important to point out that American Airlines does not provide a sundae cart; instead, the crew prepares the sundae in the galley based on your request.

Delta also provides ice cream in the business-class section on long-duration flights; however, the airline often changes the selection, and classic sundaes are not consistently available.
United additionally provides ice cream in the Premium Plus cabin on extended flights, though it does not include its well-known sundae service in this class.
