shave ice

Fluffy frozen treat

Shave ice is a Hawaiian frozen dessert made by shaving a block of ice into fine, fluffy flakes and drenching them with flavored syrups.

Unlike snow cones, which use crushed ice, shave ice has a delicate, snow-like texture that absorbs syrup throughout.

Often served in a paper cone or cup, sometimes over ice cream or sweet azuki beans: We got shave ice after the beach.
