When we got the Spaghetti Ice Cream Maker at The Lemonade Stand I had to try it out. I love ice cream! And I believe my Italian heritage makes me genetically predisposed to love spaghetti ice cream.

Here’s three things I love about this product:

1) It is so simple - three easy-to-use inserts, quick preparation, you don’t need a ton of ingredients for the full effect.

2) Helpful hints in the instruction book - the people who make it, used it and gave me hints on how to get best results. From chilling the serving dishes in the freezer to using high quality ice cream for best texture, the hints made an simple dessert more enjoyable to prepare.

3) The end result is so fun! It just looks cool if you do all the fun extras to finish it! I blended fresh strawberries to make the red sauce. I balled up some chocolate ice cream for meatballs. And I melted white chocolate chips into a cupcake paper, let it cool, then grated it for the parmesan cheese.

One thing I didn’t like: it was difficult to prepare for many guests without meltage. I served 8 people this dessert. It might have gone better if I’d had people add their own toppings. I didn’t think of that so by the time the last person’s spaghetti was made, the first serving was quite soft. I think I could have done 4 servings without too much melting.

Other than my own overambition, the dessert was very well received. Clean up was easy and things like the strawberry sauce and white chocolate cheese keep well for future desserts. I would definitely serve this again.
