A dessert spoon is a spoon designed specifically for eating dessert. Similar in size to a soup spoon but with a pointed rather than rounded bowl, it typically has a capacity around twice that of a teaspoon.
The use of dessert spoons around the world varies greatly; in some areas, they are very common while in other places the use of the dessert spoon is almost unheard of - with diners using forks or teaspoons for their desserts instead[1][2].
In a some traditional table settings, the dessert spoon appears above the plate, separated from the rest of the cutlery, or it may be brought in with the dessert[3].
