Label TextThe ice-cream spoon, also known as an ice-cream scoop looks like a miniature shovel. It is approximately 5 inches in length and made with a wide shallow bowl to afford a generous bite. The ice-cream spoon is used at informal meals only to eat frozen dessert served on a plate, such as ice-cream roll. In formal dining, two dessert utensils are presented and the ice-cream spoon is not used.
