    About this Recipe

    Summertime has officially arrived (yup, here in Kansas City, we skipped right over Spring yet again!), and so have hot, sunny days that are demanding cooling spoonfuls of ICE CREAM! I miss the days of visiting ice cream shops in Germany, at which you sit down to order sweet desserts and coffee and people watch. Oftentimes these visits would be the perfect escape from the heat after a shopping marathon in the city with my mom and sister. There are popular "camouflage" ice cream dishes in Germany, pretending to be something else, like pizza (my mom's favorite) or spaghetti (my favorite). They sneakily make you wonder if you would have consumed more calories eating the savory 'real' item or the imposter version! 😉 Not that anyone is counting calories when eating ice cream though (that's why I left the calorie info out for this post!).

    Spaghetti Eis, or spaghetti ice cream, looks like pasta from a distance.. Of course it's not quite pasta at all, but instead it's a skillful assembly of vanilla ice cream pressed through a spätzle press, arranged over whipped cream, then topped off with strawberry sauce and grated white chocolate. I love the whipped cream underneath, which tends to freeze just slightly where it comes in contact with the ice cream - if you read my Windbeutel post, this is a similar kind of ecstasy - my absolute favorite part about eating this dish!

    Spaghettieis has always had a special place in my heart! Please try this out on a hot summer night, imagine yourself among Roman ruins in Trier's city center, and have it bring you one inch closer to Germany just for a couple of minutes until you can afford your plane ticket to go (please do that ASAP!). Watch the video below for when I appeared on live TV Channel 41 making Spaghettieis... I may have struggled a little more than I should have using the spätzle press :-D. Scroll down for the recipe.

     

    Ingredients For Spaghettieis

    Strawberry Sauce (purée until smooth):

    • 1 pint strawberries
    • ¼ c powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

    Whipped Cream (whisk with electric mixer until stiff):

    • 8 oz heavy whipping cream
    • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
    • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

    Other Ingredients:

    • vanilla bean gelato or ice cream
    • white chocolate, finely grated
    • mint to garnish

    Needed Tools:

    • Spätzle press
    • Fine Grater
    • Blender

    HELPFUL TIPS:

    • Freeze It: to keep the ice cream from melting as fast, make sure to freeze any serving dishes and your spätzle press!
    • Serve It Up: layer up your Spaghettieis in a martini glass for a super elegant and fun presentation that you guests will love!

    Spaghettieis Step By Step Instructions

    Step 1

    Chill your spätzle press and ice cream serving dishes for at least 15 minutes in the freezer.

    Step 2

    Place 2 tablespoon of prepared whipped cream on the bottom of the plate.

    Step 3

    Fill your spätzle press with ice cream (I also like using coconut ice cream if you're into it!), then press and create 'spaghetti' over the whipped cream.

    Step 4

    Pour some of the strawberry sauce over the ice cream. Then garnish with grated white chocolate (can also substitute coconut flakes), and mint leaves.

    Step 5

    Lasst es euch schmecken! (In short: Enjoy!)

    Hallo, I'm Sophie!

    I am so happy that you are here at my German food and recipe blog named dirndl kitchen! Let's cook and bake authentic German recipes to help us feel closer to Germany!

    I moved from Germany to the United States in 2009 and soon started to terribly miss the German food (okay, my family, too)! I still miss a nice weekend brunch with crusty Brötchen (rolls) and Teilchen (pastries), Döner Kebab and German cake and coffee time at 15 o'clock! So I decided to educate my fellow Germany-missing friends by writing about German food and traditions. I do so in a fun way with easy-to-follow recipes! I hope you stay a while and bookmark some recipes, so we can cook and bake together.

    Mit viel Liebe (with much love)
