- Prep Time15 min
- Total Time15 min
For the Ice Cream Base:
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream (slightly softened)
For the “Tomato Sauce”:
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
For the “Grated Cheese”:
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate shavings
- or
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream (base layer)
- Crushed nuts or wafer pieces
- Mint leaves for garnish
Make the Strawberry Sauce:
In a small saucepan or blender, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
If using fresh strawberries, simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes until softened. Blend until smooth and chill.
If using frozen berries, thaw and blend directly with sugar.
Set aside the sauce to cool.
Prepare the Ice Cream “Spaghetti”:
Place a generous dollop of whipped cream onto a dessert plate (this will be the “spaghetti base”).
Scoop softened vanilla ice cream into a potato ricer or spaetzle press.
Press the ice cream directly onto the whipped cream, forming spaghetti-like strands.
Assemble the Dessert:
Spoon the chilled strawberry sauce evenly over the ice cream “noodles” to resemble tomato sauce.
Sprinkle white chocolate shavings or shredded coconut on top as the “Parmesan cheese.”
Add optional garnishes like a mint leaf or crushed nuts.
Serve:
Serve immediately before the ice cream melts.
Enjoy the surprise and delight of this delicious dessert disguised as pasta
Recipe Notes :
Ice Cream Texture: Let vanilla or flavored ice cream sit for about 5 minutes just until it softens—firm enough to form “noodles,” but not melting.
Sauce Style: For a more rustic feel, mash strawberries by hand instead of blending; you get bits of fruit for texture.
Variation Ideas: Try using chocolate ice cream for a faux “meat sauce” effect or mango purée for a fruity twist.
Presentation Tip: Use chilled bowls to slow melting; garnish with mint leaves or crushed nuts for extra crunch.
Serving Moment: Best served immediately after assembly, especially when the “noodles” still hold their shape and the sauce is nicely chilled.
