Ice cream spade spoon vs. scoop

A traditional scoop is best when you want round balls of ice cream. A spade spoon is better when you want a flatter tool that cuts, presses, and serves directly at the table.

Choose a spade spoon for

• Hard ice cream that needs a firm edge
• Gelato, sorbet, and sundae bowls
• A tableware feel instead of a kitchen-tool feel
• Small servings where a large scoop is excessive

Choose a scoop for

• Making round scoops for cones
• Serving many portions quickly
• Softened ice cream tubs

NANVARA's ice cream spade spoon sits between a regular dessert spoon and a scoop: flatter than a spoon, slimmer than a scoop, and designed for stainless steel table service.
