ZRH-IAD on 5 June. Had those paper ice cream cups just like what was served in Economy. Also had option of macarons and raspberry cheesecake bars.
The ice cream was some British brand I had only seen before on flights. Coming from ZRH, you'd think they'd at least offer Mövenpick.

Currently on UA85 TLV-EWR. No sundaes, but they do have Cookies & Cream Häagen-Dazs which is new for me. They also have almond-flavored macarons which again have the perfect texture.
The ability to have perfect macarons has been the most impressive part of Polaris, to me.

My favorite dessert is mixing the apple pie in the ice cream sundae. I wish they had the apple pies both directions. I hope to mix it w Vanilla, but the salted caramel will probably work.

My wife would say +1. On our PEK-ORD she had 3 to begin with and then the very nice flight attendant brought her 2 more about 10 minutes later. She had not asked for them but it seems that he liked that she had the perfect pronunciation for that word.

Any updates on if the sundae is on ex-SFO routes, it appears to be on PS but no mention of it being on international flights.

That was the advice of the FA on Monday's IAD-CDG flight, when they had the salted caramel ice cream. Good call!

Had the salted caramel gelato today on SFO-MSP, so definitely looks like the end of paper-cup desserts is not here yet.
Other than being in a paper cup though, it was quite tasty - certainly on par with other ice-cream esque desserts I've had on UA.
