Ingredients:

• Vanilla ice cream – 4 cups (store-bought or homemade, preferably soft and creamy)
• Strawberry sauce – 1 cup (or any fruit sauce of your choice, like raspberry or cherry)
• White chocolate – 2 oz, grated
• Whipped cream – for garnish
• Fresh strawberries – 4-5, for decoration (optional)
• Chocolate shavings – for extra garnish (optional)

Equipment:

• Ice cream scooper
• Potato ricer or spaetzle maker (to shape ice cream into spaghetti-like strands)
• Small saucepan (for heating the strawberry sauce, optional)
• Fine grater (for white chocolate)
• Serving plates or bowls
• Whisk (for whipped cream, if making homemade)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ice Cream:

The first step in creating your spaghetti ice cream is to soften your vanilla ice cream slightly. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until it softens just enough to scoop easily. This is crucial, as it will allow the ice cream to pass through the potato ricer or spaetzle maker smoothly, mimicking the texture of spaghetti.
