ice cream scoop

Frozen treat server

An ice cream scoop is a utensil designed to carve frozen desserts into rounded portions.

The typical design features a curved bowl and a handle, often with a lever mechanism that releases the ball of ice cream.

By extension, an ice cream scoop is also the portion itself: I'll have two scoops of vanilla.
