cuillérable

Explanation:
je doute que le terme soit entré dans le dictionnaire, mais il est assez commun

sinon suivez l'orientation prise par l'OQLF et allez-y pour 'yogourt épais'

Example sentence(s):

En glacerie : donne une consistance plus molle de la glace (plus cuillérable) suite à une augmentation de la quantité d'eau non congelée.

facile à manger

Explanation:
I know it sounds lame, but in live discussions when my UK clients talked about 'spoonability' with regard to ice cream the French decided to put on the pack 'facile à manger'
