2. Shape the Ice Cream into “Spaghetti”:
Once the ice cream is softened, take your potato ricer or spaetzle maker and place it over a bowl or plate. Scoop the ice cream into the ricer or maker and press it through to form long, thin strands that resemble spaghetti noodles. Arrange these “noodles” onto a plate, making sure to heap them into a mound for a realistic pasta look.
3. Prepare the Strawberry Sauce:
While the ice cream softens, prepare your fruit sauce. If you have store-bought strawberry sauce, feel free to use it! For homemade sauce, place the strawberries in a small saucepan and cook them over low heat, stirring occasionally. Let the strawberries break down into a smooth sauce, and sweeten it with a bit of sugar or honey to taste. Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
4. Assemble the Dish:
Once your ice cream spaghetti is ready and the strawberry sauce is prepared, drizzle the sauce generously over the ice cream strands. You can add extra sauce for a more decadent look, depending on your preference. Grate the white chocolate and sprinkle it over the top to mimic parmesan cheese, creating a beautiful visual contrast. For a little extra flair, you can add a dollop of whipped cream on top, fresh strawberries, and a few chocolate shavings for garnish.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your spaghetti ice cream immediately while the ice cream is still cold and firm. If you like, you can add a few mint leaves for a pop of green color, or you could even switch up the toppings with your favorite fruits or nuts. The combination of the creamy ice cream, sweet strawberry sauce, and white chocolate “cheese” is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
Recipe Variations:
- Chocolate Spaghetti Ice Cream: Replace the vanilla ice cream with chocolate ice cream and use a dark chocolate sauce instead of strawberry sauce. Grate some dark chocolate or milk chocolate as your topping.
- Tropical Spaghetti Ice Cream: Swap the strawberry sauce for mango or pineapple sauce, and garnish with toasted coconut flakes for a tropical twist.
- Nutty Spaghetti Ice Cream: For added crunch, sprinkle some crushed pistachios or almonds over the top in place of, or in addition to, the chocolate.
