Dollop

A very small amount of a soft food item that can be formed into a small round shape as a serving. Foods such as whipped cream, mashed potatoes, sauces, jams, sherbets, and other similar products are often placed on a plate or on food as a topping and referred to as a dollop of the item. A dollop may also apply to liquid ingredients when attempting to season other liquids with a splash of an item. A dollop of lemon juice, soda water, fruit juice, or other similar ingredients may be added to complement the beverage being created.
