Learners sometimes say "ice cream in a cornet" without knowing it sounds old-fashioned in many places; "cone" is safer and more common. They also may confuse the container with the flavor and say "I want a chocolate cone" when they only want the chocolate ice cream; this is acceptable in conversation but context should make it clear.
