There are a lot of desserts served with ice cream, so that clue is a bit vague. My first thought was "apple pie".

Mine was "Alaska", as in "Baked Alaska", then "apple pie". If you said something like a phrase meaning a dessert is served with ice cream, it might be clearer.

Good quiz, though.

Satay is spelled Sate in Indonesia. Might want to make it an acceptable answer.
