Regarding ice cream: my experience is that temperature has a large impact on how sweet something tastes. Specifically, the same food will taste sweeter when it is warmer. Milk is actually incredibly sweet, but you don’t realize that unless you’re drinking it warm. If you’ve ever had a warm soda pop or melted ice cream, you’ll probably remember them as sickly sweet—much sweeter than when either is cold.

The way taste and smell work are significantly impacted by temperature due to how the sensory channels work, and how the sensed particles behave while warm or cold. This is very noticeable with fatty foods in my own experience.
