Bring your whole family and join us to enjoy a German specialty - Spaghettieis!
Spaghettieis, or spaghetti ice cream, is a German dessert made to resemble a plate of spaghetti. In the dish, vanilla ice cream is extruded through a modified Spätzle press giving it the appearance of spaghetti. It is then placed over whipped cream and topped with strawberry sauce and coconut flakes, grated almonds, or white chocolate shavings to represent the parmesan cheese.
When: June 4th
Where: The Steeping Leaf
Guests can choose from an "Eiskarte" to build your own "Spaghettibecher!"
