Still not enough information. Perfectly spherical scoop? Diameter of scoop equal to the diameter of the cone? Angle of the cone? Does the density of the scoop change as it melts?

I'm assuming it looks like this, and the density is constant?
Volume of scoop = 4/3 pi r^3
Volume of cone = 1/3 pi r^3 * cos theta / tan theta
If the angle of the cone is less than 17.6 degrees, the cone can contain the scoop
