Let's say your were eating a delicious ice cream at your house. Initally, you had 3 scoops of ice cream and you put them into a cup and ate them all. Then, because of the mouthwatering taste of ice cream, you unwittingly made/had another round and you say:

"What the... did I just made another scoop of ice cream?"

Or

"What the... did I just have another scoop of ice cream?"

It has been a confusing thing about this 'made' usage, but my answer here is made. Still, I doubt it, shed some light guys, thx.

    "Did I just make another scoop of ice cream" - sounds like you can make ice cream on your own. "Did I just have another scoop of ice cream" - sounds like you ate another scoop.

Had is the correct word. Making would imply you are actually taking the cream and flavor and churning it. Had means you consumed it, or possessed it.

Ex:

I had a nice dish of ice cream

Vs.

I made myself homemade ice cream, then had a scoop of it.
