                  This Amendment No. 4 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, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on October 5, 1995 and
as amended by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed on April 5, 1995 (as so
amended, the "Schedule 13D"), 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 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

                  The third paragraph of Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended
and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  For information with respect to the identity and background of
(i) each executive officer and director of Holdings and (ii) each executive
officer and director of Nestle, see Schedule I hereto.

ITEM 3.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                  Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the
following:

                  Pursuant to its rights under the Purchase Agreement (as
defined in the Schedule 13D), Holdings nominated, and the Issuer's Board of
Directors elected, Steven Langman to the Issuer's Board of Directors on March 5,
1997.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

                  (a)   On March 10, 1997, the Issuer informed Holdings that as
of such date, there were 13,388,100 Shares outstanding.  Based on this number,
Holdings, as of March 10, 1997, beneficially owned 5,056,008 Shares, or
approximately 32.9% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (assuming that the
2,000,000 Warrant Shares (as defined in the Schedule 13D) have been issued).
Nestle may be deemed to beneficially own the 5,056,008 Shares beneficially owned
by Holdings due to the fact that Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Nestle.

                  (b)   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.

                  (c)   Not applicable

                  (d)   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.

                  (e)   Not applicable


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

                  Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the
following:

                  Pursuant to the Rogers Right of First Refusal Agreement (as
defined in the Schedule 13D), the University of California, Berkeley Foundation
agreed with Holdings, as of March 3, 1997, to be bound to the terms and
conditions of the Rogers Right of First Refusal Agreement with respect to 3,616
Shares transferred to it by T. Gary Rogers and/or his affiliates.
