Abstract: A measuring dispenser for ice cream embodying a handle carrying an open ended cylinder to be pressed into a mass of ice cream to fill the cylinder. To eject the accumulated scoop of ice cream, the handle and an adjacent lever are squeezed, causing a piston in the cylinder to both rotate and to move axially against the scoop of ice cream. Rotation of the piston, along with a scraper element movable therewith, facilitates breaking of the body of frozen ice cream from the wall of the cylinder and the scraper element scrapes off any ice cream adhering to the wall.
