You may say "I like an ice cream now and then," meaning that you like ice cream enough to have it occasionally, or you may say, "I would like an ice cream," meaning that you're in the mood for a serving right now. If you want to convey the fact that you just like ice cream in general and at any time, you say, "I like ice cream."
