Spaghettieis was created in Mannheim, Germany, by Dario Fontanella, who pressed ice cream through a spaetzle press after seeing a similar technique used on chestnut purée. Serve it with coffee.

- Spread the whipped cream in a shallow layer on two chilled plates.
- Soften the ice cream just until it presses easily and fill a cold spaetzle press or potato ricer.

Tips
- Chill the press and plates; warm tools make a puddle.
