Spaghettieis is a beloved German dessert that looks like a plate of spaghetti—but is actually a cleverly styled ice cream dish. Invented in the 1960s in Mannheim, it transforms simple ingredients into a delightful illusion:
Vanilla ice cream is extruded through a special press to form noodle-like strands
It’s served over a bed of lightly sweetened whipped cream
Topped with a bright strawberry sauce to resemble tomato sauce
Finished with shaved white chocolate or coconut to mimic parmesan cheese
The result is as whimsical as it is delicious—creamy, fruity, and unlike anything most people have seen before. While it’s a classic treat in Germany, Scoop of Culture is proud to be one of the first to bring authentic Spaghettieis to New York City.
