As I remember, to find the volume of a unusually shaped object in chemistry 
class, we simply put that item in water and measured the displacement.  In my 
kitchen cupboard i have a measured pourer that would work great, it has cup 
and ounce scales on it.  Make sure there is enough liquid in the container to 
float the scoop of ice cream or you may not get an accurate measurement.  
Experiment with different size scoops or spoons to get the right technique.

Use 1 1/2 to 2 cups of milk to do the experiment, and when you're done you can 
add some extra ice cream, a banana, and pineapple to make a couple of milk 
shakes. :-)
