Spaghetti Eis
Most Ice Cafés (Eisdiele) are owned by first generation Italiens. In the afternoons and weekend you see many people sitting outside enjoying the Sun and eating Ice cream. Spaghetti Eis was discovered, not in Italy, but in Mannheim, of course by an Italian
The History
Dario Fontanella, was 17 when he had this brilliant idea to press the Vanilla ice cream through a Spätzle press. Spaghetti Eis was born.
After this discovery, Fontanella’s father went to an attorney to get a patent on his invention in 1969, but unfortunately was turned away The patent lawyer said it was not worth while. With this patent Fontanella might could have been a Millionaire, since all German Eisdiele have it now on their menu.
Besides Spaghetti Eis in many varieties, like Waldbeere, or Eierlikör, there are many amazing Eisbecher to choose from
Easily prepared from your kitchen. Place Whip cream on a plate, then press Vanilla ice cream through a Spätzle maker on top, drip strawberry sauce over and sprinkle with coconut flakes (or white chocolate)
