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 actually spaghetti. It’s delicious vanilla ice cream pushed through a press to look like pasta. Then it’s covered in Strawberry sauce (to resemble marinara) and topped with shaved bits of white chocolate that looks like 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 while making 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!
In 1969, Dario Fontanella served the first dish of Spaghetti Eis at the Eis Fontanella Eismanufaktur in Mannheim. His inspiration came from a dessert he enjoyed at age 17 while on vacation in Cortina d’Ampezzo. The Mont Blanc resembles brownish spaghetti noodles but is made from chestnut puree. When Dario learned that chefs formed the light and airy strands 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 created a Super Hit!

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

- Cookie for Garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Sauce. Put the Berries (cut in half if fresh) and 2 TBL sugar in a pot over medium heat. Let cook until soft. Mash or Puree with an immersion blender or potato masher. Set aside to cool. This sauce is delicious on ice cream, waffles, eierkuchen or anything….

- Serve (maybe with a cookie?)

Spaghetti Eis is my favorite! The Eis shop where I lived (Illesheim) used blue raspberry Eis and topped it with raspberry sauce. It was amazing. Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely try the strawberry version.
How do you get the exterior of the spaghetti Eli’s to be crispy like in Germany? We have tried with a frozen potato ricer.
maybe put the ice cream back into the freezer after pressing it
