Ice Cream Spoons Make Dessert Sweeter
Most of us like to indulge in dessert from time to time. Whether it's a decadent piece of German chocolate cake or a slice of cherry pie, it feels good to treat yourself to something rich and flavorful occasionally. Ice cream is at the top of the list of many people's favorite after dinner treats, and there is a way to make everyday ice cream special. If you are having guests over for dinner on a hot summer day and you are thinking of having homemade ice cream for dessert, buy some ice cream spoons and bowls to serve it in.
Although many people won't admit it, if they are craving something delicious, sweet and cold, they may forgo the dish and spoon and just dive into the carton of ice cream. We've all seen this in the movies, when the broken hearted girl and her friends commiserate over a pint of rocky road ice cream, each with a spoon in their hand. Although there's no denying that the dessert tastes delicious this way, when eaten with long, elegant silver plated ice cream spoons it does seem a bit richer and more extravagant. You might even want to savor each spoonful just a little more.
Collectors have long been pining for antique versions of this silverware. You can often see them popping up on online auction sites or you may even stumble across a set at a yard or estate sale. Naturally they aren't just for ice cream. You can use them just as you would any other spoon. However, it is nice to consider tucking them away just for use during holidays or special occasions. When you do this, everyone in the family thinks they are really enjoying a rare treat when they are allowed to use the ice cream spoons for their dessert. Kids especially will love this.
They are perfect when you serve sundaes as well. Most spoons that are specifically designed for ice cream have long handles. This makes them ideal for dipping into deep sundae glasses to get the very last taste of hot fudge or butterscotch that is always left behind.
Generally you can buy them in sets of six. They aren't expensive at all and if you are attending a bridal shower in the near future or are just looking for a unique birthday gift for someone, ice cream spoons are perfect. Most people don't think to go out and buy them so getting them from you will ensure that the next time they have a bowl of ice cream, they'll do it with the special spoons you picked out for them.
