Explanation
One substitutes for the noun phrase an ice cream, standing in for an already mentioned noun, which is the defining role of a pronoun. It avoids repeating ice cream in the reply. It is not naming a new thing as a noun would, nor describing one as an adjective would, and it does not modify a verb as an adverb would. The noun-substituting function makes it a pronoun.
