(light playful music)
- Greetings, my beautiful lovelies.
It's Emmy and welcome
back to another episode
where I make a food dish
that looks like a food dish,
but in actuality, it's ice cream.
If you've missed my previous episodes,
I've done two at this point.
One of a steak and French fries
and fried chicken that looks
just like fried chicken,
but when you bite into
it, you find ice cream.
Definitely check those out.
So much fun.
So cute.
Put the links down below.
Today, I'm going to be
making a German classic.
Thanks to Callie and Denise
(kids cheer)
and several other lovelies
who suggested that I make spaghettieis.
Spaghettieis.
It's not even spaghetti, it's ice cream.
So spaghettieis has a
wonderful origin story.
It was invented by a fellow
named Dario Fontanella,
who was a son of an Italian
immigrant that came to Germany
and invented this dish that
looks just like spaghetti,
but is actually ice cream.
Ooh, so wonderful.
So you can still purchase
a plate of spaghettieis
in Mannheim, Germany at
Fontanella's ice cream shop,
or you can make it yourself at home
because Mr. Fontanella
did not patent the recipe.
So I am gonna be making it today.
Super excited because it's super fun.
Instead of the noodles,
we're gonna have vanilla ice cream
and instead of the red marinara sauce,
we're going to be using
crushed up strawberries.
Of course.
So I know this is gonna taste delicious.
I just can't wait to make the noodles.
Now to make the noodles,
you're going to need a little gadget.
Dario uses a Spatzle press,
which is used to make
these kind of dumpling-like
noodles in Germany.
I am going to be substituting this.
And this is a potato ricer
used to make mashed potatoes or gnocchi.
And it's similar.
It's got holes in the bottom.
It's basically kind of like a garlic press
and we're going to press
the ice cream through this
and extrude strands of ice cream.
It's going to be so much fun.
It reminds me of those
Play-Doh little toys.
Yeah, where you made the
hair and you went, mm.
Yeah, I can't wait.
It's gonna be a blast.
So in the refrigerator,
I've got some store
bought vanilla ice cream
that I've let soften up and
we're going to squeeze it
onto a nice chilled plate.
Alright, enough talking
about all this loveliness.
Let's go ahead and make this.
We're going to need some whipped cream.
I'm gonna go grab a
plate that I have cooling
in the refrigerator because
we need to make sure
that everything is nice and cold.
Plate, check.
Chilled plate.
Shake it up.
Give us a pile here.
(whipped cream whooshing)
Oh, beautiful.
That's gonna give us some height.
It's also going to give us some flavor
and a little bit of contrast
when we have the ice cream
on top of the whipped cream.
Now for the fun part.
I'm gonna go put this
back in the refrigerator.
We're just going to load this up.
(metal clinks)
I can't wait to use this
to make mashed potatoes.
This is supposed to be the best
way to make mashed potatoes.
I'm gonna load this up, if
I can get it to balance.
I can't.
Isn't that lovely?
I can't get it to balance.
Okay, help me out, whipped cream.
Okay.
Got a pint of ice cream here.
Vanilla, because we want
it to look like noodles.
(Emmy yells)
That's annoying.
Okay.
So it's kind of like a soft
serve consistency, right?
I'm gonna load that halfway.
Put the rest of this back in the fridge
while I grab my plate.
I'm working a little bit
more frantically than normal
because everything is melting.
All right, here we go.
Let's do this.
Oh my gosh, it's so awesome!
(Emmy laughs)
Did you see that?
Look at that.
Oh my gosh, it's awesome!
It looks just like noodles.
Look at that, look at that, look at that.
That is so satisfying.
Okay.
Quickly, I'm going to place
this back in the freezer.
(Emmy vocalizes)
Place that back in the
freezer to let it set up a bit
and make sure everything stays frozen.
Now we're going to make the marinara sauce
or the strawberry sauce on top.
Couldn't be any easier.
I just have some strawberries
all chopped up in here
and now we're going to puree them.
That extrusion process was so fun.
So fast.
So, so fast.
I have to make more spaghettieis,
just so I can have fun.
Just extruding it, so great.
Gonna use our handy
dandy immersion blender.
If you don't have an immersion blender,
you can use a potato masher and smush.
Here we go.
(machine buzzing)
Step back.
(machine buzzing)
So I've been thinking about this recipe
for a little while now,
but I've been waiting until
strawberries were in season
because I wanted it to taste its best.
So now that strawberries are here,
it's time to make spaghettieis.
Okay, back to them.
Mhmm.
Here we go.
(machine buzzing)
I'm gonna add a little bit of lemon juice
to help with the color retention.
(machine buzzing)
I might add a little sugar.
No, I'm not.
It's delicious.
Oh, I love strawberries.
And there we have it.
Look at that beautiful color.
Isn't that gorgeous?
Now, if you don't have
an immersion blender,
just use a regular blender.
I think a potato masher might work,
although after I've tried this,
not really sure you would
get a really fine puree,
but having a few chunks in there
is also not a bad thing either.
Now we're supposed to put
this in the refrigerator
and allow it to cool
because everything needs to stay cool
so our ice cream doesn't melt as quickly.
Okay, let's go do that.
Alrighty, so I have a swap out.
This one has been chilling
and the consistency is more fluid.
See that?
Beautiful.
Can't wait.
So the last part of the
spaghettieis is to top it
with some cheese and instead of cheese,
we're gonna use graded
white chocolate. (laughs)
I have some pre-graded here
and I used the fine grater
on a box grater.
And I also have my microplane
with a piece of white chocolate here,
so I think I might do
a little bit of both.
This will be really fine shavings.
And these ones are a little bit more
like what you would
find in that green can.
This would be such a fun, little dessert
to make with your kids.
So much fun.
It's very hot, so sadly, my
ice cream did melt a bit,
but we're gonna work
as quickly as possible.
Now ladle our marinara right on top.
So much fun!
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
And now we're going to grate some cheese.
It's so funny!
And sprinkle some cheese on top.
Beautiful.
And there you have it,
spaghettieis. (chuckles)
Alrighty, let's give
this beautiful delectable
playful dessert a taste.
I'm gonna make this again
and make sure that my plate
is completely frozen and
that maybe my ice cream
should be a little bit colder.
Itadakimasu!
Aw, it's so good.
So so good.
You've got the soft, airy, light,
fluffy whipped cream in the middle.
And then you've got essentially
vanilla soft serve ice cream
on the outside.
And then you've got the
fresh strawberry puree
on the outside that has a
little touch of lemon in it.
And then got little
sprinkles of white chocolate,
which you don't really taste as much
as you have a little bit of texture.
It's so good.
Mm.
You know what it actually reminds me of?
Do you remember that episode
of "Pee-wee's Playhouse"
when he makes ice cream soup?
I always wanted to make ice cream soup
and this is what I imagined ice cream soup
kind of being like.
Oh my gosh, I need to make that recipe.
"Pee-wee's Playhouse" was the best.
Okay, that was a major
tangent, but this is delicious.
It's so flavorful and fun and light.
It's also a great way to eat
a lot of ice cream. (chuckles)
I love how this playfully
messes with your expectations.
You see something you're
like that I think is savory
and then you eat it and you're like, nope,
it's not, it's a sundae.
Mm.
And that's essentially what this is.
This is a sundae that is dressed up
in the form of spaghetti.
Mm.
And it's delicious.
Now it's just a melted
pool of mess though.
Oh my gosh.
Mm.
Alrighty, lovelies.
There you have it.
Spaghettieis.
Absolutely delicious
delectable playful, fun.
Highly recommend making this one.
I think this would be
a hit with the kiddos.
Summertime is just about here.
Strawberry season is definitely here.
Make yourself some spaghettieis.
Thank you, Germany, thank you Italy.
Thank you inventors of ice cream.
All righty, my beautiful lovelies.
Thanks so much for tuning in.
I hope you guys enjoyed that one.
I hope you guys learned something.
Please share this video with your friends.
Follow me on social media,
like this video, subscribe,
and I shall see you in the next one.
Toodaloo, take care.
Bye!
(light music)
That was like half a pint of ice cream.
Girl gotta stop.
We should eat some cheese. (laughs)
