Como, but I would say "I forgot that ice cream is so yummy." instead
Me olvidé que helado es tan delicioso.
Hi jaysprout
Spanish is rarely phrased the way you posed your question, ie, in English we can comfortably finish with a preposition, even though grammarians say we shouldn't, or the conjugation of a verb as you have done. Sometimes you have to rephrase what you want to say in Spanish just as Lorenzo has pointed out.
I believe your choices are cómo or que. Como is how as 'in what way', whereas que is an exclamation. I'm every bit the beginner as you so I hope someone in the know will come along soon.
