A dessert spoon is a type of cutlery specifically designed for eating desserts. It is larger than a teaspoon but smaller than a tablespoon, making it ideal for scooping up sweet treats like ice cream, pudding, or cake. The bowl of the spoon is typically rounder, allowing for easy scooping and enjoyment of various dessert textures. Dessert spoons are often made from stainless steel, silver, or plastic, depending on the occasion. They are commonly used in formal dining settings, where they may be part of a complete cutlery set. In casual settings, they can also be found in kitchens for everyday use.
