Rainbow Colored Shaved Ice

Shaved Ice is a dessert made from shaving a block of ice. It is also called as Hawaiian Shave Ice and is always mixed up with another ice dessert, snowcone. Shaved Ice and Snow cones are different because snow cones are made from crushed ice. Basically, they differ in terms of ice texture.

This dessert is sweetened with different kinds of flavored syrups ranging from fruit flavors to creative flavors like bubblegum and cotton candy.

It is often served in a conical paper or a paper cup, and you have the freedom to choose what flavors you want in it.

You can put as many syrup as you want but the best way to create a rainbow inspired shaved ice treat is by adding, lime, blueberry, lemon, orange and cherry. It will look like this:

Shave ice is served with a straw, and not with a spoon for the flavors are directly on the ice, and not on the bottom of the cup. This dessert is very easy to do as long as you have the machine that creates shaved ice. Just buy different flavors of syrups to use for your shaved ice.

Have fun mixing different flavors of syrup on your shaved ice! Oh, by the way, the best way time to enjoy this dessert is when you want to feel cool on a warm day. :)
