No Cones. 26 Real Desserts Instead.

That is the honest shape of the answer, and it is why the question keeps getting asked: someone pulls up expecting a menu board like a dedicated ice cream shop and finds a drive-in board instead, organized around drinks and shakes rather than flavors and scoops. The soft serve itself is real and used constantly, it is just never sold the way a Dairy Queen or a Baskin-Robbins sells it.

All 26 items, cheapest first. Every price and calorie count comes from the same store level data as the rest of the site.

No cone appears anywhere on the current menu, hand dipped, dipped in chocolate, or plain. This is one of the few places on the Sonic menu where the honest answer is a flat no rather than "it depends on the store": cones are not a regional item some drive-ins carry and others do not, they are simply not part of how Sonic serves soft serve, at any location.

The closest thing to a plain cone order is the Vanilla Cup: the same soft serve, served plain, in a cup instead of stacked on a cone.

It earns its own section because it is searched for by name more than almost anything else on this list. It typically runs $3.19 and comes in at 470 calories, which makes it one of the lighter desserts on the board, well under most of the Master Shakes despite being the one people ask about most.

Hot fudge itself is not exclusive to the sundae. The same flavor also comes as the Hot Fudge Classic Shake, at $3.49 and 400 calories, a cup of blended soft serve rather than a scoop with sauce over it. Same flavor, two different desserts.

Four real tiers, and the price tells you which one you are looking at. The 7 Classic Shakes and 3 sundaes are the plain, single-flavor desserts and price the lowest. Milkshake flavors run vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, caramel and hot fudge. The 5 Master Shakes and 7 Blasts are the built-up ones, cookie pieces, cheesecake or candy mixed straight through, and cost more.

Calories swing hard across this menu: the Cocoberry Cream sits at just 150, and the OREO Peanut Butter Master Shake runs 730, nearly 4.9 times as many for what is still one dessert.

Every item here is built on dairy soft serve, so nothing on this list is dairy free. Gluten is less absolute: plain soft serve itself does not contain wheat, but several Blasts mix in cookie pieces that do, and shared mixing stations are a real cross contact risk for anyone with celiac disease rather than an occasional one.
