Lard and sugar, used to do some physical models for advertising. Amazing how like ice cream it looks and different types depending on type and quantity of sugar.

Yes sorry, won't help you make cg ice cream.

not that this factoid is going to solve your problem but...

most promotional photographs of icecream are usually not actually of icecream. 
Its usually crisco as I recall.  Sometimes mashed potatoes are used too.

As far as the bump/disp texture goes, I'd probably start with some noise and
clamp anything above 0.5 down to 0.5.  Then, mult by 2.  As a start.

I'd play with it a bit more and give you a shader but its the 4th of july here
and there's a party going on outside my hotel.  I should probably join in :)
