They're known as 'ice cream sticks' or 'ice cream bars' here, but most people refer to them by their brand name - e.g. Magnum. 🙂
In my case the ice cream stick has no brand since it's homemade. I'll go with the first option then. Thanks !
'Ice cream sticks' can also refer to the sticks by themselves so I would only use that if the context makes that clear. Otherwise use 'ice cream on a stick'. 🙂

What would the plural form be? "Ice creams on sticks"? Eg. "Stiamo preparando 20 gelati su stecco".

'Ice cream on sticks' and 'ice creams on sticks' are both used here. 'I prefer 'ice creams on sticks' if they are different flavours. 🙂

I'd like to point out, although it might seem obvious to you, that "gelato su stecco" is always countable in Italian. You have one single ice cream, "un gelato su stecco" or several ice creams, "dei gelati su stecco".
Reporting in from the States - here we call them "ice cream pops" - ice cream on a stick, but I don't think we'd ever use the word "stick." here's one example:
Pecan Butter Ice Cream Pops
Pecan Butter Ice Cream Pops
Writing also from the States, just thought I'd mention Popsicles, which are always on a stick and in some areas of the country can be made either ice cream or (more commonly) of frozen flavored water or juice.
I'd never heard the term "Ice Pop" until I moved from California to Connecticut. I still call them Popsicles as long as they're on a stick, and everyone understands what I mean.
We use the term Ice Cream Bar if it's made of ice cream and is on a stick. If it doesn't come on a stick, it's an Ice Cream Sandwich.
