Dessert spoon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dessert spoon is a spoon on the scale of a soup spoon, but with a pointed rather than rounded bowl, in a similar manner to a tablespoon or teaspoon. It is commonly but not exclusively used in eating desserts, since a teaspoon may also be used for this. Its capacity is about 10 millilitres (2 tsp).
The dessert spoon is well-known in Britain and the Commonwealth countries; lesser known in the United States - it does not appear amongst the cutlery found in utilitarian table settings.
It is not to be confused with a tablespoon, which is used for serving.
