Spaghetti Eis Recipe- How to Make This Favorite German Ice Cream Dessert at HOME!

I know it’s for kids, but whenever I’m in Germany, I have to eat Spaghetti Eis at least once a visit! Honestly, Eis in Germany is the best!! The Spaghetti Eis Recipe (Ice Cream) for those of you who have never had it, is not spaghetti… it’s delicious vanilla ice cream pushed through a press to look like pasta. Then it’s covered in Strawberry sauce (to look like marinara) and then topped with shaved bits of white chocolate (parmesan cheese). Super simple, but super delicious!

And to make it even more fun, the “noodles” are piled up on a scoop of Sahne (whipped cream), which lightens the dessert, but makes it richer at the same time.

You can make Spaghetti Eis at home! All the kids (and child-like people) in your home will love it!

Where did Spaghetti Eis come from?

In 1969 Dario Fontanella served the first dish of Spaghettieis at the Eis Fontanella Eismanufaktur Mannheim. His inspiration came from a dessert he enjoyed at age 17 while on vacation in Cortina d’Ampezzo. The Mont Blanc looks like brownish spaghetti noodles, but is actually chestnut puree. When Dario learned that the light and airy strands were formed with a potato ricer, he experimented with the technique at his father’s Eisdiele. He topped the strands with strawberry sauce, and grated a white chocolate Easter Egg over the dish. Success! Sort of.

His original dish, made with pistachio gelato, was meant to match the colors of the Italian Flag. His father pointed out that Spaghetti isn’t green, so Dario switched to vanilla.

And an history was made.

• ½ cup Whipping Cream
• 1 cup Strawberries fresh or frozen
• 2 Tbl Sugar

• Scoop ¼ of the whipped cream into a dessert dish.
• Press the softened vanilla ice cream through the noodle press over the whipped cream…. sort of move it around and heap it up. It should look like spaghetti noodles.

• Serve (maybe with a cookie?)
