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.
Spaghetti Eis Recipe- How to Make This Favorite German Ice Cream Dessert at HOME!
Ingredients
- ½ cup Whipping Cream
- 1 cup Strawberries fresh or frozen
- 2 Tbl Sugar
- 2-3 cups Vanilla Ice Cream good quality
- White Chocolate Bar
- 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….
- Take the Ice Cream out of the freezer, to let it soften a bit on the counter
- Whip up the Whipping Cream… add 1-2 Tbl Sugar if you like your Whipped Cream sweetened.
- 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.
- Spoon some of the cooled strawberry sauce over the ice cream noodles
- Grate the white chocolate over the top of the sauce with a fine grater or microplane.
- 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
