Best Answer

All systems (in this case the ice cream and its surroundings) try to reach equilibrium. In this case equilibrium means all temperatures are the same. So the surrounding, where are assumed to be much bigger will influence the other items. The surroundings will actually get cooler from the ice cream but there is so much surroundings that the difference is too small to notice.

Its the same with the hot milk. Its trades its energy with the surroundings and they both equalize.

Both are tying to reach a "steady state" of temperature, one by giving up heat (the hot milk), and one by taking in heat (the ice cream).
