The right answer is "We could choose one of three ice cream flavors that had strawberries, cherries, and blueberries; chocolate chips, peanut butter, and fudge; or almonds, walnuts, and pecans." because the options for ice-cream involve multiple ingredients. When you use a list within a list, put semi-colons where the commas would be if the options all has only one ingredient.
