Crossword Genius

Almost a ton of ice (6-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ninety-nine

I believe this is a double definition.

'almost a ton' is the first definition.
(ton can mean one hundred)

'ice' is the second definition.
(type of ice cream)

'of' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
