    This  Amendment No.  2 amends  the Schedule  13D previously  filed by Nestle
Holdings,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  ("Holdings")  and  Nestle  S.A.,   a
corporation  organized under the laws of Switzerland ("Nestle") on May 16, 1994,
as amended and restated  by Amendment No.  1 to Schedule 13D  filed on June  14,
1994  (the "First  Amended and  Restated Filing") and  relates to  the shares of
Common Stock, $1.00 par  value per share (the  "Shares"), of Dreyer's Grand  Ice
Cream, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

    Item 3 of the First Amended and Restated Filing is hereby amended to add the
following:

        The  $1,275,000 used for the purchase (as described in Item 5, below) of
    the 50,000 Shares was obtained from the working capital of Holdings.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

    Item 4 of the First Amended and Restated Filing is hereby amended to add the
following:

        Holdings acquired the 50,000 Shares  purchased under the Cronk Right  of
    First  Refusal  Agreement  (as  defined in  Item  5,  below)  for investment
    purposes.

        Pursuant to its rights under the  Purchase Agreement (as defined in  the
    First  Amended and  Restated Filing),  Holdings nominated,  and the Issuer's
    Board of Directors  elected, Anthony  J. Martino  to the  Issuer's Board  of
    Directors in September 1994. Holdings has not yet determined the identity of
    its other nominee to the Issuer's Board of Directors.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

    Item  5 (a), (b) and (c) of the  First Amended and Restated Filing is hereby
amended to add the following:

        (a), (b), (c) On September 21, 1994  and pursuant to the Right of  First
    Refusal  Agreement dated  as of  June 14, 1993  by and  between Holdings and
    William F. Cronk, III and his affiliates (the "Cronks") (the "Cronk Right of
    First Refusal Agreement"), Holdings acquired beneficial ownership of  50,000
    Shares  from  the  Cronks, for  an  aggregate purchase  price  of $1,275,000
    ($25.50 per Share). The foregoing acquisition closed on October 4, 1994.  In
    connection with such acquisition, counsel for the Issuer advised Holdings by
    letter  dated October 3, 1994 that  through stock repurchases the Issuer had
    reduced, as of September 30, 1994,  the number of its outstanding Shares  to
    14,839,261. In light of the foregoing reduction in the number of outstanding
    Shares and Holdings' acquisition of 50,000 Shares, Holdings, as of September
    30, 1994, beneficially owned approximately 30.0% of the Issuer's outstanding
    Shares  (assuming that the 2,000,000 Warrant Shares (as defined in the First
    Amended and Restated  Filing) have  been issued).  Nestle may  be deemed  to
    beneficially  own the 5,050,000 Shares beneficially owned by Holdings due to
    the fact that Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nestle.

        Holdings has  the sole  power to  vote or  to direct  the vote,  and  to
    dispose  or to direct  the disposition of, the  Shares beneficially owned by
    it. Nestle may be deemed to have the sole power to vote or direct the  vote,
    and  to dispose or direct the  disposition of, the Shares beneficially owned
    by Holdings due to the  fact that Holdings is  a wholly owned subsidiary  of
    Nestle.

                               Page 4 of 6 Pages
<PAGE>
        Holdings has the right to receive and the power to direct the receipt of
    dividends  from, or the  proceeds from the sale  of, the Shares beneficially
    owned by it. Nestle may be deemed to have the right to receive and the power
    to direct the receipt of dividends from,  or the proceeds from the sale  of,
    the Shares beneficially owned by Holdings due to the fact that Holdings is a
    wholly owned subsidiary of Nestle.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

    Item 6 of the First Amended and Restated Filing is hereby amended to add the
following:

    Holdings  acquired beneficial ownership of the 50,000 Shares pursuant to the
Cronk Right of First Refusal Agreement.
