Kuurispalu is a Finnish term that translates to "ice cream scoop" or "ice cream portion." It refers to the act of serving ice cream, typically with an ice cream scoop, into a cone or a dish. The term is commonly used in everyday conversation when ordering or preparing ice cream.

The size of a kuurispalu can vary depending on personal preference and the establishment serving the ice cream. Some places offer standard sizes, while others might allow customers to specify how many scoops they desire.
